After a short 23 minute flight (Take-off to Touch-down), we arrived at Kona International Airport at Keahole. From there, it was just a short half hour drive down to the Sheraton Kona Resort at Keauhou Bay, but we had to make a few stops along the way, of course, including lunch at McDonald’s and shopping at Ross Dress for Less 🙂

After settling into the room for a while, we began to see the surf building and breaking on the lava cliffs right outside our balcony. Here is a rapid fire sequence of shots I took of one of the bigger waves breaking on the lava:

As we left the resort to head to dinner in Kailua-Kona, I took these pictures of a unique “Hawaiian Style” vehicle, and I just realized I never posted them before now!
I thought this was really representative of “Hawaiian Style” You would never find this in Central New York! This is quite a modification from what was originally a Mercedes Benz! 🙂

Enjoying our first dinner in Kailua Kona, but we missed the sunset, as we got involved in wandering around and deciding where to eat dinner… Thus, Goodnight Sunshine for Today!
