Two weekends ago I went to Hawaii for a very special occasion. Sort of a family vacation. I spent 4 days on the Kona side of the Big Island of Hawaii doing the best stuff that could be done. I did lots of research, planned ahead, keeping in mind I only had a couple days in Hawaii. I had a google doc with notes, urls and phone numbers. In retrospect, I probably should have taken a day to lie on the beach or next to a pool, drink mai tais and think about nothing…that’s what vacations are for.
