In Search of Half-Brain Spinner Dolphins? Day 7
Tuesday, May 19th, 2009We set the alarm clock, both our cell phones and left the curtains open so we would not sleep through our boarding call.
Mar and I and ten other dolphin seekers hung out on the dock as our captain interacted with the local police. As I walked up to the pier at Keauhou Bay, I […]
70 Miles to Civilization: Day 6
Tuesday, May 19th, 2009We left our ocean view hideaway today, said goodbye to our turtle friends and headed towards Kona 70 miles and 2 hours away.

Anniversary Vacation Day 2 in Paradise - 10 Years to NOW!
Tuesday, May 12th, 2009Served coffee in bed. Isn’t my true love wonderful?
We’ve taken many vacations over our 10 years together and we wanted this one to be different. We wanted to relax, get up late and just hang together.
NOT, we awoke to wave action muffled by riotous tropical birds. Red cardinals, yellow finches, love doves and some […]
