I don’t really know the Big Island. My experience is with Kaua’i and Oahu but here we are on this beautiful rock and it is enchanting. There are areas that bring me back to the feelings of exploration and wonder that I had when I first arrived in Hawaii back in 1982.

We’re staying with our dear friend Suzanne in Hilo and can’t believe our luck—her home sits on a bluff overlooking a kick ass surf spot that has me constantly itching to get out and hit the waves. I feel so blessed to be here!
