I just missed a booking at Peter's #1 cottage, but now I'm glad I did...Mornings were spent on the deck entranced by bird song and nest building as Kona coffee worked it's magic. The bay's warm water offered stunning sea life where Dan and I snorkeled off of the kayak. (Peter having all the equipment, including masks and snorkels means we don't have to lug our gear next time!) Using his boogie boards at the beach at Hapuna, we were delighted to have the company of a large sea turtle much of the time. Volcanoes National Park and Mauna Kea observatory both a source of wonder and Peter a great resource for information. And if you're a quilter, there's a shop called Pahala Creative Quilting and Sewing Center (in Pahala, on the way to Volcano), where the owner collects original Hawaiin-designed fabrics. When it was time to say good-bye, I asked Peter when the last time was he saw a grown woman have a temper tantrum...I was too relaxed to stage one, but there was so much we were going to miss. Mahalo, Peter and Barbara (I hope I meet you next time!).
