One of the things that happened while we were here was a shark attack on a man snorkeling at Hapuna Beach. They closed it for two days and then re-opened it, with helicopter fly-overs watching for the 10-12 foot tiger shark. Although it makes you somewhat nervous, the chances are pretty slim of it happening so we didn't let it stop us from enjoying the beautiful tropical waters there. It was our last day and our flight didn't leave until 10pm, so we got up early and kind of got things organized to go - then we headed to Hapuna Beach.
By mid-afternoon we returned to pack, shower and head over to Lava Lava for one last time before we had to leave for the airport.
When evening comes it's like the place takes on another somewhat softer personality, yet just as enjoyable as the sunny afternoons. Before we knew it the sun was starting to set...
Hearing people's laughter, the clinking of glasses, seeing the kids playing in the sand, and the waves hitting the beach - you can't help but feel the happiness.
As we leave the Big Island we take with us our memories of good times with people we love, of new things we've seen and done, and feeling very thankful for it all.
It looked like an idyllic setting to end a wonderful holiday!
