Hawaii  Vibes – Kihei, Hawaii, USA, December 3, 2024

Hawaii is a special place.  Not only is it beautiful all the time, but we have a nice little condo right on the beach.  It’s whale season on top of everything else!  Now the only reason we have not decided to move here is because it is far away from everything and seriously expensive.  The average home price is about $1M.  We started our adventure by only planning to spend 2 weeks here, but we are now at 5 weeks and are having a difficult time leaving.  Our days have been spent hiking the volcanos, snorkeling across the street in “turtle town,” driving the road to Hana, whale watching, visiting the lava tube and lavender farm, hiking the lava fields, and so much more!

But most of all we spent each night on our little patio watching the sunset and whales.  To say the least, we absolutely love it here and certainly plan to come back at some point.  Today’s adventure involves driving down to see the surfers since there is “dangerous shore break” and we decided snorkeling wasn’t a great idea.  We will get to see more black sand beaches and whales.
