After a long day of travel we made it to Hilo around 11 pm Monday local time (almost 2 am Tuesday our time). We missed the turnoff to our place and the GPS said the next road cut back to where we wanted to be. It didn’t tell us that the road turned into a grass overgrown track with tree branches hanging low. We didn’t have to go far and Bob thought it was an exciting start to the trip. It made our cottage seem like it was deep in the forest. On the way across the Island we did get a friendly pull over from a Highway Patrol. Dennis was driving 65 in a 45 mile zone. He didn’t give us a ticket, just real old time policing saying “Slow Down”. Even though the highway is pretty nice, it’s 40 or 45 MPH through most of the little towns so it takes awhile to get from Kona to Hilo. Still not used to the time chance. Bob woke up to the sound of Roosters around 4 am local time. More later.

I don’t think Dennis will learn his lesson by getting a warning u break the law u should pay the price
“Brenda” When you look like a law abiding citizen and not one of those sketchy biker types, they will always let you go with just a warning.
Sounds like a nice place but I guess getting there wasn’t the easiest. You know how Dennis drives so he better slow down there. Hope to see lots of pictures of your vacation. Glad the trip went well. We had rain all night and it is still raining now, supposed to stop tomorrow evening and nice for the rest of the week. Have a great time and love you both.
