(sorry I'm behind on the blog... catching up to what's current as quick as i can)Woke up early again to witness our last sunrise on Molokai. The sky was so clear we could actually see the Big Island far off in the distance between Maui and Kaho'olawe. Wow. Spent our last few hours at Dixie Maru beach swimming and shell hunting. The plane to Kona was another tiny 9-passenger cessna, but there were only 4 of us passengers! I could look over the pilot's shoulder to see all his controls and out the front window to watch him land the plane. Way cool!
Staying with dad and Linda for a few nights in dry windy Waikoloa. Yesterday we took a tour of my dad's workplace, the super fancy $1,000/room Four Seasons Resort. He is in the maintenance department but is also the resident artist and gets to paint murals and seasonal displays. Interesting to see the resort side of Hawaii and what people can spend their money on.
From there we took the beach path south to Kukio Bay which was crowded with sea turtles. Yipeee! Snorkeling was great - it's 10 times better on Big Island than Molokai. Just a lot more variety in fish and terrain. We saw a huge cowrie about the size of a Nerf football.
