It was lovely talking with Patty. Great hosts, and very friendly. Their bnb is a perfect little getaway for exploring the surrounding areas. Not too far from Volcano National Park or Hilo -- nice middle ground spot to come home to after adventuring. I would recommend coming prepared for mosquitoes! They somehow managed to find me even with bug spray on! My partner escaped unscathed, however... just a little tip for those with sweet blood ;)
We had a lovely stay and would come back again. Mahalo!
