Hawaii- Wednesday

On Wednesday morning we went to the temple there. It was just a short distance from the resort. We could see a cruise ship in the harbor from the temple parking lot. (Some of the temple pics. I took on Friday evening). Beautiful flowers surrounding the temple. In the afternoon I did a bit of shopping, while Ron stayed at the resort. Late afternoon was packing. One last dinner out, at Huggos, then back to the airport, for an all night flight to Seattle. Then from Seattle to San Antonio, by 5:30 on Thursday. (way too much sitting for me- ha)

Hawaii- Tuesday

On Tuesday, we had a full day of activities. first was a drive and a short time/lunch at a small beach. Then a helicopter ride for Ron and shopping for me. Then in the evening snorkeling with the manta rays. Ron swam a bit at the beach, I just took pics- ha. The helicopter was with the "Blue-Hawaiian". (I will post a few pics here). While he was doing that I went shopping at the Queens market. After that we went to the Kings Shops, to see the wood carvers store. Then back to the resort for dinner- then the manta rays. (That wasn't my favorite experience- but I survived). I don't have any pics of that. Ron had a underwater, disposable camera, but we haven't developed that film yet. That was with "Sea Quest Snorkeling Adventures". (I found a few pics online for the snorkeling)

Hawaii -Sunday and Monday

On Sunday, May 15, we went to church at the Kealakekua Ward.. The church building is right next to the temple there. Since I normally don't get to attend Sunday school or Relief Society, it was a good treat. The couple that spoke in Sacrament meeting were very interesting. They also sang a song with the sister-in-law and the brother. (or maybe it was the brother-in-law and the sister- not sure on that- ha) On Monday evening at the Luau we also saw the brother again. He has a business as a wood carver and he had a booth set up near the Luau to sell his carvings. Sunday afternoon, and early evening we went for a drive. North to Waimea and then around the coast to Hilo. Then back across the middle near, Mount Kea. I didn't really get any photos, except at a rest area, near the base of the mountain. It was very cloudy and we could not see the mountain. On Monday evening we attended a Luau, that was at a near by resort. (we got the tickets for "free" for attending the Wyndham presentation on Monday morning- ha, again.) The Luau had a big buffet dinner and then Hawaiian style dancers and music for entertainment. It was a very nice evening to be outside sitting near the ocean.
