Hawaii 2015 Day 6

Hawaii 2015

Day Six

Friday, February 6

 

Our last day on the big island. It was hard

to decide what to do on this day. Our list was

long of things we wanted to see. In the end, we

went to Turtle Beach. It was fabulous. We were

so sorry that we didn't have time to snorkel. 

It would have been a fabulous place to do it.  

 

You can see out past the lava the water changes.

Beyond the smooth to the darker blue. That's where

you could snorkel. That is Whitebear sitting out there.

 

A sweet little girl about Mileys age came up to me after

we took pictures of Whitebear. She asked if he was my bear.

I told her that Whitebear belongs to my granddaughter. But she

could not come on this trip, so Whitebear came instead. She told

me how there was someone that could not come with her either.
Her daddy. He was at home in the hospital. I don't know any more

than that. But her mom and grandparents were there with her. She

was sad about it. I was wishing I had a stuffed animal to give her.

 

 

We could not stay very long. So we were getting ready to

go when Terry looked out and saw people watching something.

Turned out the turtles did show up. I think we saw maybe 6

of them. Every one was marked. The number & letter was

carved into their shell. One had the antenna.

 

They were pretty good size. Their shells were

between 18-36 inches long. There weren't many people

there. Maybe 6? Even the little girl did not attempt to

touch them. Just watched and asked questions.

 

When we go back, we will schedule a day. Just for

Turtle Beach.

 

We stopped at a fabric store on the way back. I bought

some lovely fabric. I have no idea what I will do with it.

But when I come up with the idea, I will have it.

 

By the time we got back to the hotel, it was time
to get dressed for the luau. It was pretty Hollywood.
But a lot of fun. We had a great time. The food was
fabulous.
 

Now, time to call it a night. We fly very early
in the morning. Leaving behind the big island.
Headed to Oahu.
