Vern and Lorraine made it beyond special, hosting us in their Hilo home several days, providing their cabin on the Volcano Golf Course for several more days, and escorting us around the island (literally) for golf.  It was fantastic to see Ben and Lily again, as well as most of the Inouye Family including Gordon, Ron, Amy & Bob, Mark and Marsha and Aimoku and Manoa - sharing fantastic dinners that only Lorraine and Vern could create.

We also stayed a couple of days at Kapoho, where we snorkeled in our own lagoon and the open ocean as well.  From there we went to the Black Sand Beach and hiked to a couple hundred yards where the lava from Kilauea is flowing into the ocean.

We were also fortunate to see Dae Kim, who was staying in Kona, but always available to meet for Golf!  We played the Waikola Beach and Kings courses in addition to Volcano and Hilo Muni.  The weather wasn't too cooperative on the wet - Hilo side, but nice to be able to drive a ways to Kona and still play.

  We toured the Volcano National Park, the Lava Tree State Park and saw many of the Island's beautiful water falls.   Hawaii2009 030.jpg Hawaii2009 121.jpg

Resources facilities, and treated us
