Hilo Bound


Hilo Bound

April 3rd is my wedding anniversary. I once stopped in Honolulu at the airport coming and going to Australia in 1977; my only visit to the islands. Melva did the whole island hop thing with her parents when she was 11 years old. So we decided that our 18th anniversary was special enough that we would take her Spring break, April 1-8. and fly over to the big island of Hawaii. We found a lovely cottage bungalow on line from VRBO, thanks to the urgings of our daughters, who know about such things. We will get the cottage for $ 75.00 per day; such a deal! Our kids gave us a guide book, and I have sifted through all 250 pages of it, and we tentatively have planned all eight days. The island is 222 miles around, and like 70 miles wide. One of the mountains we will visit is 13, 800 feet tall. We, normally, do not take very many pictures on our trips, but this one might be the exception. Aloha and Aloha!
