On our next trip to the Big Island ...

  1. Exploring and hiking in more depth at Volcano National Park. Perhaps hike around the 11-miles rim. Stay at the Kilauea Lodge and have dinner there and also have dinner INSIDE the Thai-Thai restaurant.
  2. Deep sea fishing because I want to land that trophy tuna.
  3. Exploring Hilo because that's the only major city we missed.
  4. Parasailing at Kailua-Kona because that will be fun.
  5. Snorkeling at Kahaluu because it's the best snorkeling spot in Hawaii.
  6. Horseback riding because Theresa has so much fun.
  7. Diving inside the Atlantis Submarine at Kailua-Kona because we could see fish without getting wet.
  8. Swimming with the wild dolphins near Captain Cook's monument because that will be such an amazing highlight.
  9. Staying at Hawaiian Oasis Bed and Breakfast again because Carol and Mike are just superb innkeepers. However, if we are tempted to stay at a resort then our preference will be
    Hilton Waikoloa Village (formerly Hyatt) because it's like a Disney fantasy
    Mauna Kea Beach Hotel because I can do Yoga on the Mauna Kea Beach and play golf
    Orchid at Mauna Lani (formerly Ritz-Carlton) because the building and ground is so pretty
    Hapuna Beach Prince Hotel because we can swim in the "lipless" pool
    Mauna Lani Bay Hotel and Bungalows because I want to check out the Secret Pond
  10. Seeing Kapalana Lava Flow because we really want to see lava flowing into the ocean.
  11. Admiring Manta Ray because I can show Theresa what she missed. However, we will see this from land.
  12. Kayaking because this is another way that Theresa will appreciate that I do not lose her at sea :-)
