These past few days have gone by so fast. We have had some wonderful experiences, however. During our recent trip to the south end of the island we stopped at the PU' UHONUA O HONAUNAU Park which is a historical place where the royal chiefs originally had their residence. It is truly a beautiful location which we felt would be an enjoyable place to go the following day to just sit and relax by the ocean.
The next day we returned to the park to relax under the shade of the tree and read. Then the excitement began. We noticed a whale spout about 300 feet off shore. What followed was a 90 minute show of at least 4 whales (perhaps some babies) spouting and breaching right in front of us. Sometimes skimming along the surface as though chasing schools of fish. This is the time of the year mama whales come from Alaska to birth in the warmer waters.
Yesterday, we went up north and visited the beautiful Four Season's resort

| Can you imagine the Polynesians traveling many miles over the open ocean to arrive in Hawaii. |
 |
| On previous trips up north we had noticed several large jets parked at the end of the local airport. Apparently they must store the unused or older jets here, which surprises me they would be here with the salty atmosphere. |

After close to a month of just relaxing, reading, eating, and enjoying the beauty of the island of Hawaii we must head back to the real world tomorrow.
Until the next time,
Until the next time,
