Some of my close friends helped me to celebrate my Birthday not too long ago at the Historic Kona Inn

here in Kailua Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii. Still a favorite hangout since its opening in 1928, the Kona 

Inn and its shops, along with my favorite, the Kona Inn Restaurant, have been attracting fisherman, tourist

and the locals for decades as it truly captures the true essence of Old Hawaii.

With the sun beaming, perfect weather and the sounds of the surf rolling in, we had a wonderful afternoon 

relaxing and catching up on old times. It's easy to lose track of time with a staff that treats you like family

and dear friends ~ I couldn't have asked for a better day! Just down the street from the Kona Inn, there is 

a fabulous Ocean Front Home ~ Unbelievable setting!
