"Big Island" Hawaii - Day 7: Leaving Hawaii

After yesterday's huge excursion around the Island, we were all agreed that today would be totally lazy. Hilary and I enjoyed a morning croissant and coffee at the Marriott while the kids slept in. Later, I took my rented Cannondale bike up the coast for one last time before before returning it to the shop.  Basically, I did the same route as yesterday so I took only one or two photos.


 Along the way, I found another 'modern' petroglyph on the side of the highway, left by someone who is either looking for Chai tea at Starbucks, or was celebrating the Hebrew "Chai" (חי), meaning  "Life!!". --> 
Later, Hilary, Rebecca and Naomi enjoyed the sunshine and played on the beach.  No photos today - they were busy snorkeling!

The day went by quickly.  Soon we were packing for home, then out for dinner for one last time at the excellent Sushi restaurant we found in Queens Market.  The taxi to take us to Kona Airport was waiting for us when we got home. Time to leave this beautiful Island.









Our flight left for an overnight flight Los Angles.
