Our adventures today started late, because we decided to work on our next trip plans. We are headed to Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii and found a super colossal amazing offer for our Diamond resort. We had 13,800 points to use and had planned on a 9 day trip to Kauai, however the island county administration implemented very strict CCP Virus restrictions, and our resort couldn’t handle them, Soooo we had to cancel that part of our trip. However, while doing that we found a fantastic deal on the Big Island, where we were already booked from March 9 to April 19. After some calls and much thought, …. well, actually about 3 seconds of thought, we booked this deal! We got 40 nights at the Royal Kona resort on Kailua Bay for the same timeshare points we would have used for 9 on Kauai! Plus free parking and $25 per DAY hotel credit to use at their restaurants! We can upgrade to the most amazing corner view room for just $30/ day and have a King Suite with views of the ocean and the bay. I think I’m walking on air here! We booked our CCP test for Monday afternoon and we are out of here Thursday! I will be celebrating my 72nd birthday in Hawaii, again! Our extended trip now is almost 12 weeks, just 3 days short of 3 months! Needless to say, expect pictures of sunsets, palm trees, papayas, and beaches! It is another of my favorite places in earth! And after missing 3 international trips over the last year, this is a welcome vacation get away!

Back to what we did today! Our drive down the coast for lunch in Morro Bay, a visit to the Rock, and some photography of the sea otters, my favorite sea creatures! Enjoy!
