Very nice! But, there is no such thing as "winter in Kona, Hawai'i". There is only continuous Spring.

There may be winter in other parts of the world...but not there.

Iokepakai we are arriving next Saturday and leaving the following Saturday. Get me the address of the restaurant if I can come over I will. Depends on scheduling whether I can make it or not. We are staying north of Kona in Puako.

The first pic is hard to take when you are sitting on 12" of snow and below 0 wind chills.
