Very cool Dana. And yes we have some members there, but I am not sure of how to find them.

Oh man, I can't even begin to tell you how jealous I am! We were there 2 years ago for our honeymoon, and will be back again in 2 years. My parents own timeshare in the Waikoloa Village, so that's where we stayed.

If you get a chance, you should go check out the Waipiʻo Valley Lookout, it is incredible. Also the Papakōlea Green Sand Beach, I believe there are only 4 of these in the world. The off road adventure to get out to that place is pretty amazing in itself, but only if you rented a Jeep. You literally won't have the ground clearance otherwise. Also, the entrance to get to this beach is the furthest most southern point of the United States, so it's kind of a cool landmark to see.

Post up some pictures!

And if you want any more recommendations for fun stuffs to do, you just let me know :D

This is the road to the green sand beach..

Oh and when you sit down for drinks by the pool tonight, order up a "lava flow." It's like a $9 drink, but it is the best drink you'll ever have!

Nothing like a good vacation time and spot... Can't wait to be able to finally travel a bit and relax when I get to a nice place... Look forward to seeing pics from the vacation

Well went swimming last night, took my iPhone with me, who knew a 6 was not waterproof? Oops, well there goes taking pics on my vacation. Too bad cause I saw a mint J10 that I was hoping to get pics of.

Maybe I can find an Apple Store on the island....

Well all packed and ready to head back to Canada, was an awesome vacation and sad to be heading home but also excited to get back to mort and my girls! The -30 weather back home is a totally different story though!

Just 24 short hours until I am back home!
