The Boyz are here! They were given a proper Hawaiian welcome. No rides scheduled today, I am reading the logbook and tipping a beverage of my choice. Thanks Joe for sending it out so quickly. Lotta goodwill and memories on these pages.

I love the Tube Rose Lei. I'll never forget that sweet scent.
Enjoy the ride today, Paul.
I hope you have a great time with the Boyz on the Big Island.
Any chance you'll make it the the southernmost point of the USA?
I showed the Boyz a little bit of the Hilo Bay front before breakfast. Then we headed to South Point and Volcanoes National Park. I'm not happy with the pics from South Point, so we are going back tomorrow for a re take. It's only 120 miles RT and I will get more of the Volcanoes Park and Black sand beach.
Pics are here. https://picasaweb.google.com/103456616158165341242/HawaiiSTOCTag02?authkey=Gv1sRgCLCPiP-D3oudBQ#
Today I decided to stay close to home and take the Boyz on a waterfall and garden adventure. The bike got around 45 miles added to the clock and my feet feel like they received 20. We traveled up Hwy 19 to Akaka Falls State Park. Lotsa picture taking here, then back towards Hilo for Lunch at What's Shakin on the Onomea Bay. After lunch it was the Tropical Botanical Garden and then Boiling Pots and Rainbow Falls State Parks.
I added some pics of yesterdays trip to South Point, but I need to go back there to get more. https://picasaweb.google.com/103456616158165341242/HawaiiSTOCTag02?authkey=Gv1sRgCLCPiP-D3oudBQ#
Nice place ya got there.......great photos............nice work................Joe..............................................................................................ff
These pics are striking up the love I always had for the whole idea of Hawaii, feelings I had from before my first trip to the islands 20 years ago.
The first Polynesian explorers had to know their hardships at sea were worth every minute of uncertainty, once they saw what lay beyond the horizon.
Thanks Paul for taking us and the Boyz for a tour.
Looking forward to more views of this magic place.
Thanks Guys, I'm having fun playing tour guide. I really hated the idea of moving away from Oahu in 66 after my Father retired from the Navy. Hilo is every place I have ever been in the world, all rolled into one.
If you and the Boyz ever get to the Kona Coffee plantation, try to get a pic or two up on the Coffee thread. Too bad we won't get the aromatherapy with that pic.
