I’m a Kona kind of guy.. wifey was born on Oahu, her Mom on the Big Island. That place is growing,, and I don’t mean volcanically. ;-)
We are Kona people as well!
In fact, we fly directly into Kona.
We usually stay at the Sheraton Keauhou Bay Resort but would like to try the Hapuna Beach Prince Hotel. It’s where we love to snorkel, Hapuna beach.
We’ve been all over the big island and love it!
Haven’t made it to Kauai yet but will for our next trip.
When I hear people say they went to Hawaii and then learn that they never left Oahu I just laugh. That’s not Hawaii!
