After dropping our Jeep back, we had a complimentary taxi to the airport.

The airport in Kona is a weird cross between a cattle market and a low tech shopping village, The temperature seemed to be spiking, as the breeze dropped.

The bags were transported to our plane, a lovely old antique Boeing 717, which had literally just arrived from another island.
Not the sort of planes my Brothers JB & Al pilot!

We watched the progress of tropical storm Hone, it looks like the other side of the island will bear its brunt.

Time to be herded aboard, for an hours flight to O'Ahu.

We now have an enormous Chevrolet Traverse, which so far has used no fuel, we hope it is magic!

Quite different terraine, something slightly jurassic about the lush green covering to the hills..Low ominous clouds are hanging about.

We checked into our Courtyard Marriott Hotel, we are blessed with a room right next to the exit door, a few paces from the ice machine & only 20 paces from the guest laundry, I couldn't be more stoked!
Out to "Pounders" a typical US eatery, my burger was the bomb.

We enjoyed a mediocre meal, which was all a little disappointing other than the excellent Burger mentioned before.

Well goodnight dear reader, Especially the ever observant Gareth, glad you like the nail polish : )

See you all on the up side.
