Hawai’i Days One and Two

Yesterday began our big family trip to Hawai’i. We traveled yesterday, and today we snorkeled and shopped in Kailua-Kona.

Yesterday began our big family trip to Hawai’i. We spent the bulk of yesterday traveling, waking up at 3:45 to fly from Atlanta to Denver and then to Kona. We’re staying in an Airbnb in Kailua-Kona for the first stays and got to the house around 4:00. My younger brother’s family and our parents had already arrived and gotten food and figured things out by the time we got there.

Tomorrow we’re going on a snorkeling adventure with Sea Quest, so this morning we walked to Kahalu'u Beach Park to do some snorkeling practice there. I wish I had some pictures of this, but I left my phone at the house since I would be in the water so much.

After snorkeling practice, we had lunch at Ultimate Burger and checked out the shops in Kailua-Kona. I needed to get an aloha shirt for the luau we’re attending later this week, and I wanted a patch for my suitcase. While there we saw the start/finish for Ironman Kona.

We ate sushi for dinner at Kenchigi Pacific.
