Hilton Waikoloa Village, Kona, Big Island

Aston Keahou Bay Beach Resort, Kona, Big Island
Ah. It feels so good to be at a hotel with space and peace and quiet. Now I can sleep at night. We bid farewell to the Hilton yesterday, and it was not a sad goodbye. Even checking out was a pain - the luggage had to be picked up an HOUR before you ...

The Big Island- Hawaii
The day did not start well, we got to the airport and found out our flight to Kona was changed from 9am to 1145am. An unexpected three hour wait in the airport did not go over well with us. We made the best of the time, what else could we do right? We ...

Flight Day! As usual, we were early to get to Mauna Loa Helicopters for my 9 a.m. lesson, so we took pictures of the helicopters there on site, but all the Mauna Loa helos were covered, so the pictures weren't very informative. Got another couple ...

... the way to the airport by 6 a.m. I'd already printed our boarding passes, so we were able to do curb-side check-in, but United now charges $2/bag for same. That's okay with me - it's worth it for the convenience of not having to wait in ...
Circle Tour of Island
Tuesday I took a 12-hour narrated bus tour of the island. It was an early day since they picked us up at 6:30 AM, but it was worth the lost sleep. Our driver Sal was from New Jersey. He's been living on the island for 14 years and doing tours for 13 ...

Kona International Airport
We had to get the car back by 4:30 to avoid paying for another day but our flight doesn't leave until 8:40. So I figured we'd drop the car off and get a bite to eat and a drink and we'd be set. Little did I realize that the largest airport on the ...
