Just keep swimming…
Kona, a port on the Big Island We were able to watch our approach into the small port of Kona. (But did not take pictures) and watched from our veranda was they began the Tender process. We had signed up for a very short Glass Bottom boat excursion. Which was a good thing, the heat…

Hawai’i 5-O
Where to start!? We arrived at Honolulu in the wee hours. And being up late the night before with Syd, P Chop, the night before… I will admit to missing some of the arrival! (Ok all of it) (Note my slightly hung over look in the cover pic!) We were docked beside the iconic Aloha…

Goats, Salmon and a duck?

Misty Mountains
