The Visiting The Big Island Forum

we're back!

well it's been a couple of weeks since we got back from kona and the real world has settled in.
a month or two ago i posted a message wondering if it was worth the time and money to go see the hilo's botanical gardens,..well it seemed like everyone chipped in and said we should go ,bring extra bug screen,extra water,xtra film etc,....well, you guys were right,it was totally awesome!!! we started down the wooden walkway when it started raining monsoonal style,..luckily, we hid under a large banana leaf built for two and laughed until a little golf cart showed up and handed us a couple of umbrellas.
it sure was pretty down there and we will always tell people that it's a must do adventure.
we also did the zipline adventure up the coast,.we did the older maui zipline a couple of years back but overall this was much more fun. just the ride out to the first zipline is worth the price of admission.
if you ever had a desire about going on the zipline but were on the cusp about trying it,let me assure you it's sooooooo much fun!!!!!
i really feel envious reading about everyone booking their flights etc about going back,..but in another year,hopefully we may be coming backk not only to visit but to possibly tie the knot.

we thank everyone for their previous inputs etc,...can't wait to book my next trip back to kona. DARY AND LAURA
P.S. what's with the zebra heading down the coast?
