hang10tiki there was even more I didn't photograph. The juice bar where I mixed my own POG each morning.

Prikli Pear Dan majored in Spanish and Italian in college. When we traveled almost everyone spoke English, even in Spain and Italy. I love travel Dan loves to stay home. I'm lucky he lets me drag him places. I like your story.

Kona is the dry side of The Big Island. To find a tropical paradise you need only to tour each hotel. That is how on a prior trip I found this one.

After breakfast on Day two we decided to explore the grounds of the hotel to see if it were the same as we remembered from 12 years ago. It was even better.

It was pretty funny to see the yoga class underway in the turtle lagoon.

Inset into the foliage were many outdoor spa areas. I talked Dan into a photo in a deserted one.

A tree house spa area.

We were able to do our tour without anyone around because it was so early in the morning. However during the 5 days we were there was had many walks alone and everyone was this beautiful. This is why I picked this hotel the Fairmont Orchid.
