Mauna Lani

We're Here


So we spent most of Thursday travelling to get here, and arrived late that night. Then Friday morning we woke up and walked over to Gina and Gary's place for breakfast, the place here is beautiful and what a great way to start our vacation.
After that we made the half hour drive down to Kona to hit Target and Costco for supplies, and after that was done it was time to unpack, unwind, and relax.






Our home away from home, a nice 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom townhouse
The sky starts to lighten up around 6:30 am which is the time that us girls went for a four mile walk around the resort area, down by the beach, and up by the golf course and then home again.  This is a place where it's good to be an early bird, it's the perfect temperature to get some exercise in.



The sun started to peek over the mountain shortly after we started our walk. 


Beach walk - almost sunrise.


Once the morning exercise was done it was home for breakfast and then off to the Mauna Lani beach for some of us while Ted went to check out tennis nearby. There's some great tennis venues here so he's pretty happy about that.



The place is idyllic - you laze in the sun, then cool off in the turquoise waters, and then do it all over again - perfect routine.

This afternoon we will be going over to spend time at the pool, then it's back to our place for Happy Hour and more relaxing, after a month of this we will be stress-free!

Kohala Coast

Soon...


...we'll be waking up to the sights and sounds of Hawaii, it'll be a welcome change from being woken by the sound of rain hitting against our windows!
