Because it was our last day and we'd been leaving in the evening to head back home, we needed to finish packing. Which meant that Zach went through his list of souvenirs he was supposed to bring back home for family and decided he needed to go up to the shops again. So we went back up and picked up key chains, mugs and things. Zach got to decide what he wanted to do for our last day. He wanted to go boogie boarding again because he like that more than watch...

Since this was going to be our last full day, we decided to do one more snorkeling trip. We'd heard from some people we'd talk to at Kahalu'u beach that there was another really good / lesser known snorkeling place that had some neat things. We weren't really clear on the name because we'd heard it called City of Refuge as well as Two Step. Apparently they're pretty synonymous. In anycase, the place is in Honaunau Bay, just south of the C...

Because we were staying so close to the Hilton and we'd heard of it's impressiveness, we decided to walk over and take a look around. It really is about a five minute walk from where we were staying.

There's even a train that runs from one side of the complex to the other. A train...

All-in-all, this was pretty much the most relaxing day of our trip. Which some people might find a bit weird because usually when you go somewhere warm for the winter, you go and sit on the beach and drink. I like to go out and see things. It's also a bit different if you're not staying in an all-inclusive resort. We had a really late morning because we woke up late, cooked a nice breakfast, and watching the women's hockey gold metal game for the Oly...

We'd decided the night before that we would try out the snorkel place that Zach had found out from his friend in the hottub a couple nights ago. He'd said that a lot of the time there are turtles in the little lagoon that you snorkel in that you can swim with. All of us were pretty excited from the turtles the night before, so we really wanted to see some more, if not swim with them. So, we found the place by google maps in the morning (don't you lov...
