We are home.. and ready to hit the ground running

Aloha!
We had a wonderful time on the Big Island.. Over the next month I will post in more details the best and must do's of the trip and one or two things that you might want to skip and why.

The Jacaranda Inn was charming and a very historic homestead.. Hard to believe that this western ranch community, "Parker Ranch"  in Waimea, is a large part of the Big Island's History.

Waipi'o Valley and points south of Hilo

As we wind down our week away on the Big Island.. we are going to explore the area south of Hilo the Puna district this morning and then drive up to the Waipió valley where Derek says we are hiking down.. I think a picture from the top is perfect...
We will let you know.

We are not wanting to leave this beautiful location.. the waterfall is just outside our door and the food is amazing and the room very comfortable..
If you need to come to Hilo or just want an amazing get away this location is it.
Last time.. but have to say.. The Inn at Kulaniapia Falls. is the only place to stay.
Will check in again on Sunday.. will spend our last night at the Jacaranda Inn in Waimea.
