Hawaii Day 6 - Kailua-Kona

On Wednesday (3/30), we flew from Honolulu to Kailua-Kona. When we checked into the hotel, somehow they recognized that I'd stayed here before, so I asked her..."When was that? When were we last here?" Because I have some vague idea, but nothing definite.

"It was in August of 2005," she replied.

This to me, is fascinating. That a hotel can tell me that I was here 5 years ago? I'd have lost money on that bet for sure.

The Kona coast was recently slammed by the Japanse tsunami, but it didn't get much coverage since there are no nuclear reactors melting down into the ground like giant glowing gophers.

The tsunami hammered the island pretty good, but fortunately our hotel is still in operation. For the Four Seasons, not so much.
