Trip to Waikoloa Village on the Kona side of the Big Island of Hawaii -- November 2005.

We stayed at the Paniolo Greens condos.  We were in the South Kohala district and close to the best public beach on the island, Hapuna Beach.
The condos were half way between the coast highway and Waimea, where the Parker Ranch is located.

The day before we left, we went snorkeling in Kealakekua Bay. Then we checked out of our condo at 10 AM our last day, but our flight back to LAX wasn't until 9 PM, so we had a whole day to play.  We went to see the historical buildings at the Parker Ranch, took our luggage to the airport, and spent the rest of the day shopping.
