Kalei's place was a special haven for me on my 40th birthday trip to the Big Island. The other two rooms magically had women on either end of the spectrum - one in here 60's, and two who had just turned 19 and 20. I called us the Maiden, Mother, and Crone (wise women archetypes). Though I didn't know these women, I ran into them on the island when we weren't planning on hanging out, and it felt like a gift was being given to me in the form of a message about what it means to be a woman. I have great reverence for the Hawaiian islands now for their medicinal value and am glad I paid them a visit.
Kalei was wonderful and gave me tips of things to do, was always incredibly responsive and keeps her place very clean with all of the basic amenities available.
I'm so glad I brought my travel yoga mat along, as the porch was the perfect place to do yoga at sunrise, with the ocean in view.
Also, the washer/dryer was a real luxury after a couple of days of sunscreen wearing and water adventures.
Thank you, Kalei, for your kindness and generous spirit as my host, and thank you to the Big Island, Lava Tubes, and Pacific Ocean for the deep healing. I needed this!
