We survived the long plane ride (only some 7.5 hours, flight time to Kailua/Kona on the big island of Hawaii), the long lines for Covid protocols (skipped because I did homework before we left to get pre-cleared), and the time change (3 hours earlier). My body is not sure even now, one day after landing, whether we're 3 hours earlier or 3 hours later! But we do have two full weeks here before returning home to the land of snow.
This morning we woke to no food in our lovely condo. Scary. First drive into town with our rented car (first time using a keyless car with no how-to manual). Our mission? To find a breakfast spot, a lovely cafe with veranda seating overlooking the ocean -- and coffee! Lots of folks walking along the beachfront wearing shorts (84F) and it's 9am. I guess they were smart because that sun got a little warmer in the afternoon, but I'm not complaining.
But maybe the birds were complaining because they kept close watch over our breakfast! We spotted two Yellow Billed Cardinals (actually 'hunting' for snacks very close to our table), and a Mynah bird. You can check out pictures HERE or admire my blurry picture below! And, yes, that's a smidge of the ocean just a few steps away!
