Up and away to Hawaii!

Today we left the hotel at 5 a.m. and made our way to the airport.  It went smoothly and, after a five hour flight, we arrived in Kona just after 9 a.m. and had a quick process to get our bags and the rental car.  With our stomachs telling us it was lunch time, we headed to a super easy lunch, Costco!  We shared a full Costco pizza at 10:30 a.m. Yes, silly we know but it worked out well.  We then headed to a regular store to load up on groceries before making the drive to the rental house on the south end of the island.  It was roughly a 90 minute drive from the airport to the house.  

We unloaded and got things settled and explored around the house a bit.  We had to laugh at this sign because it reminded us of streets from a long-ago Alabama trip. You better know if you need the "Street" or "Place" because they cross paths.  Seems extra confusing!  

It was a windy day!  It was nice to be outside and feel a little bit more settled!  

After dinner we noticed a gecko on the patio and Olivier did some crawling to try and get it but it was just too fast for him!
