Breweries and some Pupus!
1 Ekim 2021, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ⛅ 79 °F
Arrived on the Big Island and got settled and then headed out for some lunch... our bodies all screwed up on time. We wound up nibbling. Uncle Ahi's Poke was our first of the trip.... and certainly not our last!

Landing on Hawaii is like landing on a lava field - all the lava rocks. So different from the more tropical feel on other islands.Okumaya devam et

Kuleana Rum Works
1 Ekim 2021, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ⛅ 77 °F
Very near our hotel - the Hilton Grand Vacations Waikoloa Village - is Kuleana Rum Works. We did a tasting and then decided to stay for dinner because it looked and smelled great and the view was wonderful.
We had the Pipi Kalua Lumpia and Kuleana Poke Nachos. They were both amazing.
If only we knew on this day how much poke we would eat on this trip!Okumaya devam et

Waikoloa Village
2 Ekim 2021, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ☀️ 72 °F
Beautiful place to wake up. The Waikoloa Village is pretty... but huge and it takes forever to get from your car to room and vice versa! Got lots of steps in though by the end of the stay here.

Rainbow Falls, Hawaii
2 Ekim 2021, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ⛅ 77 °F
We drove across the Big Island which is such an interesting trip. We went from lava rocks with tropics, through a very dry part of the island with some elevation rise, down to the other side and back to tropical. Our first stop of the day was Rainbow Falls.
We also saw Peepee falls on the map ... and like 5 year olds... had to stop!Okumaya devam et

Hilo

The Hilo Farmers Market was a joy! So many beautiful fresh fruits. It was hard not to buy a ton, but Dawn did get some papayas that later became contraband.
And more poke for brunch!

Kailua
3 Ekim 2021, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ☀️ 77 °F
Just bumming around Kailua a little. We went to the farmers market, but compared to Hilo, it wasn't very exciting. We of course found some good food. We thought about snorkling but the area we picked wasn't exactly easy to get to.Okumaya devam et

Greenwell farms was our afternoon spot for a kona coffee tour. Our guide had had a lot - lol. She was so high energy and enthusiastic. And we learned a LOT.

Lahaina - Arrival, Star Noodle
4 Ekim 2021, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ☀️ 79 °F
The fact that we are going back in time to create this entry is extra painful as all of these places in Lahaina are either completely destroyed by the 2023 fires or seriously damaged. Beautiful memories and painful thoughts.

Guy Fieri had gone to Star Noodle on his special show with his family in Hawaii and we had to check it out. It so did not disappoint.Okumaya devam et

Ku'ia Chocolate Farm
4 Ekim 2021, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ☀️ 79 °F
MMMMM chocolate! Made by passionate people who are experimenting and trying to grow the best cacao beans. There were so many varieties and the view from the treehouse was amazing. Dawn spent a couple hundred dollars on chocolate lol - lots of gifts and lots for us that we parced out for more than a year as special treats to savor!

I can't remember how the Dr. who owns it made his money, but 100% of the profits of the business went back to the community.... even before the Lahaina fire. They are doing even more now even though a majority of their trees were damaged by the fire. Real ohana and aloha love.Okumaya devam et

Fleetwood's on Front Street
4 Ekim 2021, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ 🌙 77 °F
We went to a brewery to watch the sunset before our reservation at Fleetwood's on front street. We splurged on a really amazing meal, up on the rooftop with live music. The guy singing was the nephew of Carlos Santana. Brian Santana. He was great!

Fleetwood's is also gone with the August 2023 fire. We had such a special night there. You can't take a memory away, but for those who lived and worked here, our hearts are broken.Okumaya devam et

Haleakala National Park
5 Ekim 2021, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ⛅ 64 °F
OMG. Haleakala is famous (and fun to say) so we decided to drive up. We had NO idea what we were undertaking. The road is terrifying to two people afraid of heights. Bill drove nice and slow and when we had to cross paths with others, we held our breath.
We also did not realize how much the temperature changes when you go from sea level up more than 3000 feet. The temp went from 80s to near 50 and windy! We were in shorts! No wonder we saw people in pants, with puffy vests and long sleeves as we started up.
It was beautiful up there but we didn't stay too long.
The drive down was equally terrifying as it looked like you could just drive off into the clouds.Okumaya devam et

After surviving Haleakala, we headed down to Kehena Beach to relax and then on to Maui brewing. Bill went golfing and Dawn went to the beach. A beautiful and relaxing day after living to tell about the treacherous drive!Okumaya devam et

We didn't have time to drive the whole road to Hana.... and after the drive the day before really weren't up for that. We did the Twin Falls hike, which was beautiful and Bill got some coconut juice and fresh pineapple - he was so happy!Okumaya devam et

Maui Pineapple
6 Ekim 2021, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ☀️ 77 °F
Maui Gold Pineapple was an awesome tour! So amazing to see fields and fields of pineapples... and to know it takes 18 months for the first fruit and another year the second and that is all each plant will do!
We came home with 3 pineapples that Dawn has grown into plants... that have yet to blossom, but they are nice plants.
Maui Gold lost their Front Street store in the fire but the farms were spared.Okumaya devam et

With time to kill before our flight to Honolulu, we hit a food truck park, another stunning beach and then the airport.

We did an island tour to get around to different areas. From Diamond head to snorkling on the north shore to Dole Pineapple Plantation and a funky shrimp shack.... it was a great day.

Powerful memorial for all the lives lost. The reminder that we were standing on the final resting place of those soldiers was somber.
