The Big Island

Big Island. We stayed in Hilo while we were there for the weekend. Sheryl had to go on business, so I was lucky enough to go with her and enjoy the weekend together.





Sheryl found a heart shaped rock. No, she didn't bring it back.








Candy Store


Big Island Candies - A must stop
Mexican Food!! Yum!!!



The most beautiful Double Stacked Rainbow I have ever seen!!! 










Black Sand

Day of rest and relaxation. Massage and Pedicure. Thanks!!!


 We have not really had many carbs in a month or so. We splurged with some pizza and pasta. It was worth it.
Pizza with Cilantro Pesto. 
Greek Pasta

Totally worth it!!! 

Volcano!!!







My sister Sheryl!



Flying back to Oahu.
Fantastic trip. Again, tons to see and do on the Big Island, with a relaxed feel and nice people. I enjoyed it.

Chinatown

Most every big city has a Chinatown and Honolulu is no exception. A great place for wandering around, checking out the fruits, vegetables and unique foods of the area.

Honolulu Chinatown did not disappoint.



Lychee 

Spring onions

live frogs...yes, LIVE FROGS - to eat I assume, not for pets 

Blue Crabs - reminded me of Savannah :(

Beautiful Dragon Fruit - I still am not sure how to eat them

Bitter Melon

Close up of a Lychee

Pig Heads - he looked kind of cute actually

Beautiful Fish

Fantastic fresh flowers

Lei Shops everywhere and the Leis are rather inexpensive. 

And beautiful

There were tons more to see, taste and take pictures of. I will be back.
