We left the airport and decided before hand to rent a jeep- we went to the cheapest place online :) and di it from home! yay- because some hidden beaches- wont allow you to go to them with out a 4x4! yay! it was fun! I drove it one night :)
We thought- k we need a kona shake- off to the nearest coffee shop! yum!!! Then we arrived at our Condo- it was soooo nice! so glad it was exactly as we thought! In a older apartment building- yet nice inside- fun to see people living day to day there!
One thing- we didnt like- it was across the street- :( oh well- we didnt have much choices- FLIP KEY. com for rentals or VRBO- we used them for NYC and Hawaii!
Anyway- we found this great little pizza place- bring your own drinks! nice! so Hubby went to ABC and got us some bevy's- then we ordered Macadamia nut pizza!!!! OH MY WORD! Amazing!!!!!!!! it was slurp! delicious- we had some for a midnight snack :)

Hawaiian Vacation :)
Back from a wonderful 11 days in paradise! when u first start out- it goes slow- then flies! We have always loved Hawaii- so we were eager to return! were there in 2009. We left for Kona ( the Big Island) - on Alaska airlines- as soon as you walk on the plane- Hawaiian music is playing :) love it! almost time to depart! my happy suprise was- the window seat was all mine! the person didnt show! yahoo! so it was empty seat,me, and Hubby- hello space! they give nice nuts- and complimentary mai tai's near arrival- they are trader vic brand- and so yummy!!!
As soon as the captain says: we are nearing the Hawaiian Islands- thats when u really get excited- then he said: its 81 degrees today- yay!
Its beautiful once your eyes see the islands- and the airport is great! You just walk right outside :)
