Another Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood

The perfect tropical breakfast at Sheraton Kona Resort on the Big Island
It's easy to understand why Hawaii is high on the bucket lists of so many people. The weather, the music, the resorts, the ocean, the papaya and pineapple, the people...everything combines to create the perfect vacation renewal spot.  The word fecundity comes to mind.  Some vacations provide you with stimulating new experiences, filling you up, enriching you.  Hawaii's beach resorts allow you to empty out, be still, and be at peace with nature, life and death. 

Our little slice of heaven.
A group of four friends and I traveled from Durango to visit a friend who moved here about 7+ years ago.  Such a different vibe from the mountains.  Yesterday was the fourth day of the trip and, true to form, it was "catch up" day.  Tour operators have long known that the 4th travel day is a low-energy, low-motivation day.  Two of us took advantage of that low energy to station ourselves in a lounge chair by the pool overlooking the Pacific.  But first, we took the morning to arrange for Hawaiian adventures, including dinner and the performance of a magician/comic, swimming with the manta rays, and finishing with a sunset dinner cruise before our departure.  I know what you're thinking!  Now is the time to book your tickets!
