After a cancelled flight, a change of airlines, and three nights in a Hampton Inn, we arrived in Hawaii just in the nick of time, as much of the country is getting hit by an arctic blast. My smaller suitcase managed a side trip to Kauai, but it arrived on the big Island only 4 hours after we did.
I walked around the coffee plantation today and here is some of what I saw.
First of all, there are coffee plants all over the place. It looks like they are budding and will soon bloom.
Second, I found some really tiny bananas that I'm hoping we can watch grow into the lovely apple bananas that we enjoy for breakfast.
I found a gecko on a large banana palm.
And I discovered that the avocado tree is loaded with avocadoes this year. I picked up a few off the ground, and will wait for them to ripen. This variety of avocado is very large -- bigger than a softball, and very tasty.
Stay warm and be safe this winter!
