Getting there

Royal Sea Cliffs
Sat was a weird day starting with me in the blood bank Friday night and we finally got home at 12:30. followed buy a few short hours of sleep and leaving the house at 4:30 for the airport.  We got to Seattle in the pouring rain at about 7:00 and ended up in the lounge having breakfast and coffee.
The flight to Kona was great but we ended up an hour late about 4:00 pm but the sun was out what more can we ask, getting the car as easy because of the pre-arrangements and I say good planning. After leaving the airport there was a quick stop at Wally's Mart for the basics then to the room for setting in and fighting the TSP people sorry no presentation this time.

After settling in we thought a reasonable dinner was in order so over to the local Sam Choy's for dinner and oops forgot and didn't know about the Halloween parties, we finally ended up at Denny D's even so not too bad and fast to boot.

On the way back to the room we heard sirens going off was it fire.......was it practice ????????? no it was the real  thing a tsunami alert,  it appeared that the Charolette's  had dropped one on us, so every one was in evacuation mode with no one left out so in the end at 2:00am  a destructive 1.5 foot wave hit Hawaii so back to the room and a few well deserved sleeps were made.

Sunday started with an Island information session as though we need it but we might have won some thing in the draws.  Like ya really?

  1. Glad to hear you guys made it there safely! Sorry about the earthquake. Could've been our little temper tantrum about not being able to go with you. You haven't missed a thing weather-wise here other than rain, cold, gray, more rain and wind. Hopefully you've both caught up on your sleep by now and are fully embracing Hawaii time. Keep us posted on your adventure. Beautiful sunset!
