off to paradise

Tomorrow morning we leave for Kona and are headed to the big island of Hawaii! Richard and I have been counting down the days to this sunny trip to paradise and I can't believe it's finally here.  A few things on our agenda: visit the observatory, go on a few hikes, catch up on our reading at the beach/pool, farmer's markets to sample fresh tropical fruit, boating/snorkeling cruise, and visit the Kona brewery.  Please keep us in your thoughts for a safe trip home. See you all in 1 week!
