Another Hawaii get-away, this time to the Big Island in March. We were in Kona (the Dry side).

Big Island
The dry side of the big Island is either Lava Landscape or a resort, with some lush areas. The wet side, much more lush.
When you to an airport without walls and open, you know you're in Hawaii.
Rocky Coastlines.
One of the breathing holes.
Green Golf Courses or manicured resorts.
With pretty people.
Or rich guys with their arm candy wives.
To do's
My story with the Mai Thai's the first day by the pool, is I got one, and I was casually watching her pour... and thinking, "that can't all be clear/white rum... it has to be a mix", because she kept pouring that while adding other stuff. I sipped it, and it tasted fine. So I nursed the thing to empty over the next 15-20 minutes while reading, and got up to pee, and just about fell onto my face. I'd skipped from buzzed to hammered, and had to concentrate to walk a straight line. I "walked" back to the room, in a blurry haze of warmth and affection.
There's snorkeling at public beaches (or tours).
That was more fun than I would have thought, definitely should be on a todo list.
There's hanging out at the pool...
With Mai Thai's (or other fruity drinks): these things will put you out.
And some local food that's awesome: flatbread with macadamia nut, pesto, sun dried tomatoes, Parmesan. Nom nom.
Volcano
There's a Volcano to visit, when it isn't erupting too bad.
Who knew one of the most destructive forces should be a tourist attraction?
Along with the caves of devastation made by the volcano.
It steams and vents.
