Like a dream, a story, or a lesson, which taught us what the spirit of Hawaiian is.
A one-week journey in Big Island was itself a refresh to us, both in body and mind. The stay with Candace's family even confirmed this idea more.
We arrived at Candace's place very late due to the travel from the west island to the east. My phone was even damaged by water before departing for their home. Thank God I figured out the address and drove there around 10 pm. Candace and her husband were still waiting for us coming, which was so warm and kind. We did not want to bother them that late but was even more impressed and felt much welcomed when they showing us the studio where we stayed. A NICE, LOVELY standalone studio with everything we need! I have never seen an Airbnb home that is so perfect! Hawaiian style amenities, clean and beautiful, kitchen, bathroom, and a lovely patio with grill. Candace prepared a lot of welcome for us. Their local guidance, fresh fruit, and my favorite POG juice!!
This is our first time visiting Big Island but felt like coming back home. Candace shared her story with us, and yes, I can feel it! A peaceful mind and lovely people on this island. We would definitely come back next when we visit Big Island.
By the way, this place is very convenient to the most famous Volcanoes national park and Hilo city. With the local guidance prepared by Candace, we were very lucky to explore the most Hawaiian attractions, not just going for sightseeing, but helping you understand what is Hawaiian and this sacred spirit behind the island.
