So without a doubt the most adventurous thing we have done this trip was learn to breath underwater. We woke up at 6:00am, and ate breakfast, and scurried down to the Kona harbor, where we boarded the Kona Diving boat — but it was the wrong vessel. We had to go to the opposite [...]

Volcano Day!
Today was our visit to Volcano National Park on the south west end of the island. We took another drive across Saddle Road as the fastest route to that side of the island. The Kona end was much better in the daylight than in the dark of the night before. It’s still almost a two [...]

Saturday Adventures
Yesterday was a very, very full day exploring the north end of the island.
Our first stop was Lapakahi State Historical Park.
The Park is an old fishing village on the western shores of the island with beautiful views over the ocean. It is a quaint little spot right off the highway.
This, however, was our main [...]

Catching up on pictures
Aloha!
We’ve been very busy for the past two days and are finally catching up on uploading pictures to Flickr and posting them here.
This is the view from our hotel room… at least one of the them. We’ve claimed this as “our” hammock to hang out on when we get a chance.
This is just one of [...]

What day are we now? Departure Gate BINGO!
Yep — We are now officially confused. We woke up at 4am for the second time in a week to travel from one side of the US to the complete opposite. It has been relatively fast getting here to LAX as it is 3:45. So 13 hours aight bad … oh wait .. the time [...]

Day 2 & 3: Another day in paradise… more to come
Like Ian said yesterday, not a lot of consistency here
Yesterday we sent Dad off to Colorado for the week. We miss him, since this is the first time Rebecca’s been in Florida without both of them here. But, we’ve been continuing on with our adventures. While at the airport, we managed to get [...]

Hello everyone. Day 1 of our honeymoon has been quite the adventure – To say the least. We flew out early in the morning, and if you take a look at our photos later on you will see some amazing shots of New York city.
This is us before leaving Toronto very early in [...]
