... in response to Hey, icpilot., posted by T P Cornholio on Mar 31, 2003Sorry - I am acronymed to death and cannot seem to get my mind around this one.
As for Hawaii, Olya and I spent a week on the big island 2 weeks back. It was the best vacation in recent memory.
Olya particularly enjoyed a green sand beach on the SouthPointe part of the island. It was accessible only via 4-wheel drive or by hiking. We drove in, but others made the 2.5 mile hike without too much difficulty.
I liked the volcano excursion and exploring Waipio Valley the best - but it was all terrific.
Whales were migrating and were visible at every high point where the ocean was visible. We saw one breach a few hundred yards away from us while we were kayaking on one of the bays. It was spectacular.
I could continue in my effusive description, but suffice to say that we both really enjoyed that week.
BTW - less that a week later we were fighting through 40" of snow in Denver.
