Aloha! Mahalo! - Big Island of Hawaii

Orchids
Bill and I took a true vacation in paradise.  One might not think we need a vacation with all the traveling we have done in the past year. But, as I have previously mentioned, those trips have been work related, and I am glad that Bill could get some real R&R.

My sister and her husband invited us to join them for a few days in Hawaii this spring.  They have the good fortune of spending a week there every year, and have invited several family members to join them at various times.


Needless to say we were excited they thought of us, and we had no hesitation packing our bags.  Our travel arrangements allowed us to extend our trip a few extra days beyond their invitation, so we decided to first explore the Big Island, and visit the temple in Kona.  After a couple of days snorkeling, viewing volcanoes and getting wet in the beautiful rain forest while standing under giant ferns, we joined up with them on Oahu.
