The Big Island - Spring Break '11

To make a long story short, we arrived at The Big Island of Hawaii to a "Kona Village" representative letting us know our vacation destination was closed due to heavy damage by the tsunami.

Unknown to us at the time, this vacation would turn out to be one of the best vacation of our lives.

We were redirected to stay at the Hapuna Beach Prince Hotel, one of the finest Hawaii honeymoon resorts.  (I cannot give them enough stars in my review!)

Here is the room we were given; actually an ocean front suite.

Overlooking Hapuna Beach; Said by some, to be the best beach in the entire state of Hawaii.

Below is the view from our master bedroom.

Here are a couple more views from the lobby of this magnificent Prince resort.

While we were there, we were able to enjoy the beautiful surf.

Catch a rainbow while driving by;

Get a personal welcome wave from a friendly sea turtle hanging out.  (my favorite)

See the top of Mauna Kea on a crystal clear day.

And a romantic full moon (above Mauna Kea) was given to us all in the same week.

This was our first visit to the The Big Island of Hawaii...and we know for sure, it will not be our last.

I will post more about this wonderful holiday in the near future...so stay tuned!

Have a wonderful love filled week and enjoy "the moments".

*hugs*
