This was the big Hawaii news during our entire trip and then we watched this ship sail into port. I'm so glad I looked it up. It is very special. http://peaceboat.org/english/?menu=46 On Day 11 we drove to the airport in the rain. The storm came as we were leaving. Our plane was an hour late.

But now Dan finds a few records and CD's and I look for shot glasses. In Hilo at Ben Franklin's I found these tiny "key chains" that I can write on the labels. I will use them to state what is on each of my thumb drives. I use the thumb drives as an extra back up of my photos. I also have back up hard drives. Obsessive. When we were home I put all of my new shot glasses into COLD water to soak off the impossible to remove price stickers. Two of them had the paint come off. Bummer. Now it will be just GooGone from now on. Display only! I also found one Couroc tray. I use these easy to stack trays as I do my tiki projects. I was very happy with my treasures and Dan loves his new albums. Our trip could only have been better if Dan didn't get bit. Other than that perfection. Cheers, Wendy

Our last 2 days on the Big Island of Hawaii. We have rarely seen any rain which is a miracle for Hilo.

Just walking behind our hotel.

Why is Dan back Spamming it up at Wallgreen's?

Because the antibiotic made him sick all night long and now after a visit to the clinic we are back to fill a different prescription.

I finally got my classic view of downtown Hilo.

Next we drove to Rainbow Falls. If you go in the morning you have a chance to see a rainbow. Overcast and later the view is still beautiful and FREE.

We did the short hike to the top.

At the top of Rainbow falls there is a trippy walk into this rain forest.

So you walk carefully looking down but

for the view you also look up.

On the way to the car the jungle was beautiful.

Next we drove to boiling pots. To see them boil there needs to be more rain. The water stirs up the dips in the rocks and makes it look like boiling water. That we didn't see.

But I love big leaves and there were plenty of those.

We have been so lucky with the weather. We never had enough rain to interfere with any of our excursions.

I found this one flower all by itself.

These old trees lead to our hotel.

Impressive.

We walked from our hotel and found

a bridge to a small island.

From there I took this photo of our hotel.

Too bad we didn't find this sign on our first day in Hilo.

Our last night the fog rolled in and the view was lost.

Day 11 the view we will miss.

Our last breakfast at our hotel.

This was the big Hawaii news during our entire trip

and then we watched this ship sail into port. I'm so glad I looked it up. It is very special.
