In Kona Today

Thanks, Denise, I figured it was some kind of a drink - didn't know it was beer. We have been there and really like their pizza.
 
If you like micro-brews, you can sign up for a free tour of their facility, and it includes a free tasting after wards.
 
Yes, they did have lunch specials but we took the tour and had a pizza.:D
I did go back and take some pictures of the outside of the Kona Hawaiian.
I'll post those on Sunday or Monday. It'll take a while to go through all
The pictures. I'll post a couple here and post a link if you want to see them
All.

When I clicked on that link. it went to Kona Hawaiian Resort....does it now for you too?
 
I'm uploading the pictures into a photobucket album right now. It will take me
a while. I'll post the link when I'm done. I'm going to have another album with
the places we ate so if your only interested in that you don't have to look
through them all.
 
Thank you for sharing your trip with us all. I'm so glad you have had what sounds like a wonderful time. I have really enjoyed your thread. Please let me know when you get your photos uploaded, I'm so looking forward to seeing them.

Suzanne
:hi:
 
I'm glad you enjoyed the thread. We did have a great time. It's always hard to
leave though.:bawl: It was a little easier this time knowing we're going to
Kauai in February.:D

I'll have the link in a few minutes, almost done uploading.
 
Here's the link to our Kona photos. I'm going to make a new album for the
places we ate at and put that in a different link. If you have any questions let
me know if you have any problems. The link opened for me when I previewed it.

I still have to add some captions to the pictures.

Great pictures and trip report, Jeff. I enjoyed reading it. Lucky you to go back again in February to Kauai. :D
 
Wonderful photos. Thank you so much for sharing them. I'm going to miss your posts. I really enjoyed reading them every day. What type of camera did you use for the snorkeling photos?

So glad you had such a wonderful time.

Nice pictures. I notice it's titled Kona 2012. Is this a preview of next year's trip? ;)
 
Thanks for the daily reports. DW and I spent 3 weeks on Kona last January and will be spending 5 weeks starting after Christmas this year. Your posts inspired me to take DW to Dive shop here in this area to obtain a shorty wet suit, snorkel, prescription mask and fins. Owner of shop asked why I was not getting anything and he said my explanation made no sense. For one thing, he said that the size of my head (larger than most - no comments from the peanut gallery pls) would make it difficult to find a rental mask to fit me. He also pointed out the size of my ski boats (feet) and said that would also be difficult to fit me. So, after trying out all sorts of masks and fins, I am now fitted out with mask, snorkel, fins and will go back this week to try out the shorty wetsuit that he is ordering for me.

Before we got home, we made a side trip to obtain the new nikon underwater coolpix. DW has been reading the manual and taking all sorts of practice shots since we got everything Friday.
 
I thought about the the date on there last night:eek: , I'll have to fix that and
add some captions. My wife uses a point and shoot Cannon Powershot
SD1200IS and she bought a DiCapac underwater case. It's like a baggie with
2 ziplock seals.
My wife looked into the whole snorkeling equipment for me. It's something I
wanted to try but I didn't think I could because of the glasses. Next time we'll
do the night manta ray snorkel. We had a manta ray swim by our lanai for about
5 minutes and that was really cool.
We're already scoping out snorkel spots for Kauai in February.:D

Let us know how it works out for you.Kahaluu Beach is a great public beach
to start out at. Lots of fish, not far from town and easy access. My wife
found it much easier to use some flotation(noodle,belt or tube) while she was
taking pictures.

The wetsuits should provide plenty of buoyancy for picture taking.
 
Jeff, I miss my daily fix :D (ie your posts) already. Can't wait to read your posts in February.

We'll be at Pono Kai in February but if some one wants us to stop somewhere
for current pictures of someplace let us know. We'll be all over the island.
My daughters coming and she is going to be taking a Photo tour out of Kapaa
so I know she'll get some great pictures of the sights. I know we're going to
stop at a few different timeshares while we're there. My wife bought the camera
adapter for her Ipad so we'll be able to upload photos while we're there this
time.:D

Today was my first day back to work :annoyed: , but I got to talk about Hawaii
with everyone though so it wasn't too bad.:cool:

Elli

We just had a few drinks in Quinns. Next time we will definitely eat there. We
looked at the menu and saw some food come out and it looked great.:D

I had to update the photo link. The old one didn't work after I corrected the date.
