Time off

We decided to take a weekend off and head to Honaunau for three days of sun, hot showers, laundry and great company with our friends Dave and Beth, who run Beth's Hawaiian Hideaway. We'd been planning this getaway for three weeks - as soon as there was an opening in our favorite Paniolo Suite. We were dying to dry out for a few days. Since we arrived in Volcano on October 16th up until November 20th when we headed to Honaunau, we had been blessed with over 24 inches of rain, according to hikermikes Volcano weather station. Everything was starting to smell moldy to me, including me!

This break was just what the doctor ordered. On the way back to Volcano we made the required stop at Costco in Kona and took the long way home through Waimea and along the Hamakua coast.
