Staying in the Avocado Tree house was a magical experience. There really is nothing like being lulled to sleep by rainstorm and waking up at dawn to the sun peeking through the trees. We stayed for a week, and spent most of it in Pahoa, around the house. While we didn't stay around the house much, it was wonderful being in an area that was a little more isolated from tourists than the rest of the island. We hiked, snorkeled, swam, for three days and then spent Christmas Eve driving around to Kona. Hugh and Elvira were very kind and funny, I wish we had stuck around and hung out a bit more at the farm, next time! On Christmas morning Elvie brought us breakfast and even dinner! Turkey, pork, mashed potatoes, the works. Best Christmas ever!!

I hope they caught that pig and figure out what to do with those silly guinea fowl! We cannot wait to go back, thank you so much for a wonderful time!
