Not many beaches on the big island. A couple of black sand ones on the south end as I remember. Lots of volcanic sights, lava rock and rough ground. Lava tubes were interesting also. Hilo is OK and a little laid back when I was there. The Parker Ranch is a big place and an interesting drive. Saw turkeys, Nenes and some goats.
Helping ducks have a bad day since 1961.

You're a week late for the race! Get some Joe at Kona Coffee and bring me a shirt.

Naw trust me, the race date is what made our decision to head out there (race is on the Oct. 9).

As far as the hunting I can't shoot yet due to my shoulder, but I should be good to go in about a month. :D

Thanks fellows for yalls advice, I'll give you some updates and pics when we return.

Last time I was in Kona I bought a HulaBean t-shirt that has their logo on the back. My wife gets pissed everytime I wear it.
