It is a glorious blue sky day here in Kailua-Kona. We left Sacramento yesterday as the big storm was coming in. It was snowing pretty heavy at our home in the Sierras so we are thrilled to be escaping to warm, tropical Hawaii.
We are spending a week at the Wyndham Kona Hawiian Resort. We traded our Palm Desert unit through TPI. Check-in was easy and the staff is friendly & helpful. We have stayed here before and really enjoy the resort. Our unit is in good shape and, although there seems to be plenty of guests, it is very peaceful & quiet. We purchased a lot of fresh local fruit & veggies at the big farmer's market just down the road about a mile towards town. The Safeway on Henry St. across the highway had everything else we need. We plan to go visit the observatory later this week, something we have never done. We may go to the Waiapo Valley, too, another thing we have not done on previous visits. We haven't seen any whales nor heard of any sightings.
After a week here we will be on Kauai for 3 more weeks so we may see some whales then.
The computer is free. There are 2 set-up for guests to use for 30 min. at a time. Since I'm not a laptop owner, this is a nice addition to the resort for me.
