Here they take the pig (Kalua Pua'a) out of the imu (underground oven) with their bare hands. OUCH!
The show follows the `Aha`aina (feast).
Kelli & her mom Marie kayaks, while Mel takes a nap on the beach.
Sunrise over Mauna Kea on a clear morning. This was the last clear morning we saw; normally the Kona Village Resort sees about 8 inches of rain a year, but the last 5 days we were there, 4 inches fell. Oh well, at least it was still warm!
A couple of turtles basking in the sun in Hawai'i. Good idea, don't you think?.
Mel & Terry relaxing in a hot tub; another good idea!
Whales splashing around off the Kona shoreline.
Everybody enjoying a late afternoon sail on the Manu Iwa. It was supposed to be a sunset sail, but the clouds turned it into a whale watch.

Parents on the lanai of their hales at the Kona Village Resort.
Well, I hate to say it, but it's time to go home... So was it worth it? (We think it was!)
