Paradise

Well, Hawaii is all I thought it would be and more! Even though we've really only been here one full day. But let me tell you, it was a great day!

Basically all we've done so far is orient ourselves to the 63-acre resort we're staying on, eat some breakfast overlooking the ocean in Kailua-Kona, pick up some snorkel gear for John, visit the farmer's market for apple-bananas and mangoes, attempt snorkling in the lagoon at our resort (victory!), and take a dip in the adult pool.

Oh, and the sunset last night was excellent! Tonight we'll get an even better view of it from the restaurant we plan to eat at.

Now it's off for our snorkling boat tour. We're going to what our guidebook describes as the best place ot snorkle in the state - Captain Cook's monument. Better go get ready to leave.

I hope all the swimming and snorkling will made up for the diet of nachos, burgers, bacon, cheese, and avocado I've been consuming since we left for this vacation!

Aloha!
