Kona

In October we took a short trip to the big island of Hawaii for some relaxation and rejuvenation. We stayed at the Four Seasons Resort in Hualalai. The resort was absolutely breathtaking and included multiple pools, restaurants, a full spa and lots of walking trails. Given that the big island was so big, our time so short, and with lots to do at the resort we pretty much stayed there the entire time. One exception was our first morning we took a helicopter tour over the entire island. The highlight of the tour was getting to see some small lava pools on the active volcano on the southern part of the island. The tour also took us through beautiful valleys that were deeper than the Empire State Building is tall and filled with a lush rainforest and breathtaking waterfalls. We enjoyed our resort so much it was hard for us to leave. We will definitely be back in the future.
