Waikoloa, HI

Here we are in not so sunny Waikoloa. We were up early to make our 08:00 flight to Seattle then on to Kona Hawaii. We were fortunate enough to be moved to the exit row so had lots of leg room. The girl at the check in even arranged for the same exit seats for our return flight. That made a big difference.

After a short stop over in Seattle we made our way on the 5 hour flight. They even provided complimentary Mai Tais just before we landed to get us in the mood. It has been warm but overcast with a few sprinkles of rain. No trouble picking up our rental car - a keyless start Nissan Altima, so very comfortable.

We checked into our condo and then proceeded to pick up a few groceries. The supermarket is just up the road.
Lanai (veranda) overlooking the course
When we got back we sat on our lanai  which overlooks the golf course and were entertained by the male turkeys "prancing" full tall feathers trying to attract the very uninterested females.
Maybe if I look pretty I'll get a date. . .
We also attended a Mahalo reception pool side of the resort - singing, hula dancers and complimentary appetizers.
With the two hour time addition we are trying to adjust and looking forward to tomorrow's activities (whatever we decide to do!).
