I can’t believe tomorrow is my last full day in paradise! 😦 This has been an incredible vacation. The Four Seasons Hualalai has been such an amazing resort we have barely left it. We’re thinking we’ll do an island tour tomorrow but we’ll see if it really happens.
Until I’m back to my regular posts…sending love from Kona!
People use these contrasting black and white lava rocks to create “graffiti” by the side of the roads. I’m sending you some of the “love” graffiti. 🙂

Thank you for the beautiful love graffiti Susan! Look forward to reading all about your exotic holiday.
The graffiti was amazing to see on the side of the highway with peoples names, etc. Except it looked nice not ugly.
I’m sure you’ll be bringing back lots of amazing photos and colorful stories 🙂
Can’t wait! In the meantime, enjoy your vacation 🙂
The vacation was fabulous. I have many pictures to post, I just need to get them organized.
Loving your photos and just SOAK UP your last day in paradise:) Just Go For It & Have Fun!!! Have a Wonderful Day!
It went by too fast, I want to go back! 🙂
I really am jealous of your life..you get paid for this right?? 🙂
Ha! I need to find a way to get paid for doing this!! I don’t get paid to go but the great thing is that because of my travel agent status, I do get discounts on the resorts I go to which is a big perk as I wouldn’t be able to go to some of these nice resorts otherwise.
Somehow I thought you had figured out that angle. Surely a high end travel magazine would love your stuff. So I understand you are a home travel agent? How did you manage to get on the IATA list, or are you a contractor for someone?
I have a host agency, Nexion, LLC. They have about 2000 agents under their “umbrella”. They are a very professional organization and provide all kinds of training and support to agents. It’s great. I only do the travel part time and I have a job two days a week at a commercial interior design firm. It’s a nice balance because the travel industry doesn’t make much money unless you really work hard at it. But there are some perks still left. 🙂
Ah, I wondered how you did that. I was a professional travel agent for 12 years back in the 80’s. Miss those travel discounts! Now that was the time to be an agent.
Sounds like you have enjoyed yourself. Wonderful photos in this post. 🙂
Thanks, Inga.
I’m completely unsurprised that you’re having a grand time, but still I’m glad to hear it.

haha, I just post on another photo that I really wanted to get a pic of the mantaray but they were booked. Next time!
I loved Kona and Hawaii in general… It truly is a paradise! I will be back there in April 2013 and I can’t wait!
Hawaii is a no-fail vacation. I’m partial to the slower islands like Kona and Maui as opposed to Honolulu. I haven’t been to Kauai yet so that one is next on the list. 🙂 Have fun in April!
I loved Kona. Hilo, Maui and Oahu. I have been to Kauai as well and I can say it was probably my favourite. That being said, all the islands have so much to offer…
Love! That is such a cool thing to do. I can only imagine how spectacular everything in Kona is. Hope your last day was the best!!
We finally decided we should probably leave the resort and check out the island so we did a tour of the island. Not sure I would do it again but I’m glad I did so I know what it has to offer.
