been reading about the huge snow fall in Toronto with even more on the way. Such guilt mixed with gloat. What can I say? A snowy street in Toronto or a tropical beach in Hawai'i? Snowy and cold - Sunny and warm? Decisions, decisions.This morning we headed to the Mauna Kea (mega) resort.
It's one of the many huge resort developments with hotels, condo apartments, townhouses, villas and exclusive multi-million dollar mansions all built around a luxury golf course, tennis courts and shopping malls.By American law all ocean shoreline must be open to public access. To get around letting hoards of "riff-raff" in the huge resorts limit the parking access. So getting there early gives you a parking pass and access to the great beaches. BONUS - the Manua Kea hotel in the comple
x is closed because it was severely damaged in the Oct. 15th 2006 earthquake and still not repaired. Hence, there are very few people on the beach. We spent three hours there with many enjoyable swims and Sue 
enjoyed walking the length of the beach. Then up to the little port town of Kawaihae to the Hamakua Macadamia Nut Factory where we purchased a bag of the the local delicacy. Sue sends her regards and condolences to those in Toronto.
