The Big Island – Drive to Kona

I was gonna update the blog with A TONS of pics as soon as we came back from our vacation, then… I was soooooo tired n literally slept all days next 4 days or so…lol I gotta admit, my body n mind was not ready to come back to the real life…lol
Anyway, it’s been 2 weeks since we came home… so let me just start to “brag” about this beautiful place!
Day 1: When we got to Hilo Airport, it was raining so hard!!! Well it was very early n still dark. But by the time we were done with renting a car, the weather cleared up! Yay!
The hotel we stayed was the other side… Kona side of the island, but we purposely landed to Hilo airport. Drive from Hilo to Kona is about 3 to 4 hours… Well, first off, there was nothing… just a road… then about an hour later, this great view was welcoming us!

I seriously thought that we actually got to Heaven!! Well… the flight kinda scared me, so…lol It’s hard to show in the pic, but probably the time(early morning) was perfect, n this huge land! It was a breath taken view!
Then me n kids took a lil nap while Chris was driving…lol We got to Kona around 10:30a.m.






It actually reminded me of Point Loma in San Diego a lot. The view was nicer though. There weren’t much stores or to do as I expected, so we decided to hit the road to the hotel…

…to be continued.
