Final Hawaii Post

Here’s a hodgepodge of pictures from our last couple of days in Hawaii, plus our underwater pictures.

On our supposed last day in Hawaii, Friday, May14, we checked out of our hotel.
We had lunch at Rocking Joe’s, a seaside restaurant in Kona.

After lunch we had a shave ice with ice cream and this little character visited the stand while we were there.

Then we drove down to a National Historical Park where we knew we could see some sea turtles.
While we were there a wave came in and flipped one turtle over.
With a little struggle he was able to get himself back up right.

Then we drove to Jamesons by the Sea, our favorite restaurant in Kona for a supposed last meal in Hawaii.
Then we headed to the airport, but as you may know, our flight was canceled so we were put up in another hotel on the sea, the Keauhou Bay Resort Hotel.  It was an older hotel, but still nice.

Then we headed back to the airport and found out our flight had been canceled again.  We were in the process of getting our vouchers for another stay, when an earlier flight said they had some seats still open so we were able to get out on it.

Before closing, here are some pictures from our disposable, underwater cameras. First, enjoying the beach in Maui.
Some of our snorkeling pictures on Maui.
 
An eel.
Hawaii’s state fish – the Humuhumunukunukuapuaa.

Finally, some pictures from our dolphin swim.  If you recall, the boat positioned itself ahead of the pod of Spinner dolphins so we could get in the water.  As they approached they swam under us.

Thus ends our Hawaii posts.  I guess all good things must come to an end.
