KONA CLASSICS, part I (well sort of)



So I've been trying to upload 4-6 photos and this is the only one that would upload for some annoying reason. They are all the right file size, etc...anyone else ever have this problem when uploading? Any suggestions?

Anyways...instead of going over the trip in great detail, I've opted to go with the classic "Best and Worst."

Best:
-Great hosts and good company
-Perfect temps
-Great food
-No work, no church meetings throughout the week and on Sundays
-Sleeping till we woke up
-Going to sleep as early or as late as we wanted
-Intense Dr. Mario sessions
-A snow cone bigger than my fat head
-Not ever wearing a jacket
-The overcast skies and Vog (kept it the perfect temp)
-Waverunning on the ocean with the waves
-Being outside all day everyday
-Bearded Lady burgers at Lu Lu's
-Black sand beach
-Jer hand-feeding a Morray Eel
-Jer catching a small crab and feeding it a Wheat Thin

Not As Good:
-Getting soaked going from the airport to the plane on the way home (the airport is outside)
-Sitting water-logged and freezing on the plane home in between a big, big dude and Hallie and feeling claustrophobic
-Jet lag
-Strange sun burns on my wrists, feet and half of each leg
-chaffed crotch from skim boarding
- Coming home
-The overcast skies and Vog (not really ever clear and hurt the snorkeling)

And the list goes on...

Sweet guys. Can't wait to see somemore pics. How about a baby up date?

I wish I had been visiting the black beaches. Did you visit the volcano national park? More details please...

Shelby-
no we didn't go to the park. We stuck mostly to traveling to different beaches on the island, skim boarding, waverunning, snorkeling, etc. We did go to the spot where the volcano is going off right now, but that was kind of a bust. The last time our friends were there, they were able to get close enough to poke the lava with a stick. This time they had people roped back around 400 yards or more from all the action-pretty lame.

I know this might be late but try to upload them one at a time. Sometimes it does that to me too!
