The Hawaiian Style Cafe
After a few too many 5 star breakfasts it was time to visit the famous and very popular "Hawaiian Style Cafe."I'm pretty sure every tourist that asks a local where the best breakfast is served is told to eat here. So on one of those "precious and idyllic" Big Island morningswe hopped in our rental car and headed Northeast on highway 19 to Waimea. OK, I'll admit I was feeling a little car sick because I hadn't eaten breakfast,

Lucky Lumahai Surf Dog
If you know me you know I really love dogs! So when I saw this Happy Black Lab and his ownerfrolicking at Lumahai Beach together of course I had to snap some photos.I was so envious of these two, I would love to swim in the ocean with my dogs!

The Tiki-Tacki Royal Kona Resort
Growing up in the late 1960's and 1970's definitely sparked my interest for anything "Tiki".For as long as I can remember I have had a thing for tiki style and decor.So of course this place was near the top of my must see list on theBig Island of Hawaii.
