Last Day in Paradise

Its a sad day! I have to go back and get ready to re-enter the work force again. Boy, I would love to live here full time. We just hung out, took a glass bottom boat ride and lamented our inevitable departure. But like Ahhhnold, I"ll be back.

Kailua - Last Day

Honoka'a

We drove up from Kailua to my friend Ben's place and then on to Honoka'a. What a wonderful side of the island. Not nearly as desert like as the leeward side of the island. Just lush and tropical. Rained on us a bit but its hard to believe that they are in a drought. I would have never thought it could have happened there.

Ben gave us a tour of his farm. The kids had a blast feeding the chickens. He has a real nice place and is building a second house for himself and his wife.

Honoka'a was a killer little town. Its more of what a typical Hawaiian town is, according to Ben. We met some of his friends and neighbors who were really nice. They seemed suprised to see Ben in town. Seems he needs to get out more :)

Anaeho'omalu Bay

This is definitely our favorite Beach. It wasn't crowded at all and had a great reef to swim over a couple hundred yards out. I took Alex snorkeling over the reef while he held onto a boogie board. We also bonded really well doing that together and it made a wonderful memory. I can't wait to do it again.
