Kayla also arrived safely! She's doing quite well and I think she likes it here a lot more as I allow her the freedom to roam around the house all day long (although she chooses to lounge the whole time!), and at night, she runs around in our front yard and eats fresh grass. James and I have decorated the house and even went island hoping to the Big Island for Kona.

So hot it melts right when outside!
So far, we've explored the North Shore area: swimming at beautiful Waimea Bay and eating shaved ice at Matsumoto. We actually go up to North Shore every Monday for some local grown veggies. It's a bit of a drive, so we'll see if I find some place closer. I like their selection of veggies, and it seems to last us the entire week. 
Great swimming area too!
45 minutes later, we have our shaved ice!
Typically, each Saturday we'll go swimming over at Ala Mona. The swim is about 2000 meters round trip. One weekend, we followed it up by hiking up Koko Crater. O my gosh! It's not that it's too bad, but I'm a whimp when it comes to heat. I felt like I was dying walking up that thing! The view on the top was beautiful though. :)
Up, up, up and away.....
We went over to the Windward side of the island (east side) to Kaneohoe Bay to watch the Marine Corps Air Show and explored the beaches along that area as well. Still on our to-do list is kayaking, visiting Ko'Olina, Polynesian Culture Center, Moana Falls, swimming at Waikiki, going up to Diamond Head and many, many more. My hope is with this blog I can keep every body up to date as to how we're doing and what we're doing. We do love to hear from our friends and family back, so please feel free to leave a comment, or shoot us over an email. Mahalo! :)

I did not realise how big your rabbit is. . . hope she likes her new island home!!
I had to weigh her when we came over. She's 5 lbs. 10 oz. I think she's adjusted nicely. :)
I love rabbits! If you are looking for an amazing pool check out the one at the Grand Wailea. Looks like you are having fun!
Tracy! I'm really glad to see you and James are settled in and are doing so well. Waimea Bay looks beautiful! Hope to hear more from you both soon.
God bless!

So cool. We've been out of touch with everyone. I'm happy to see that you are able to live in Paradise. Jay and I will have to come see you guys. I'm planning a vacation there for 2011 in Maui. We'll have to do an Island hop and spend the day with you and James for sure.
I'm so happy for you Tracy!!
Tam and Jay
Thank you for the update :) I'm so jealous! I hope to visit Hawaii soon since Tony has never been there. Ala Moana is very pretty so enjoy that. I miss Matsumoto. Let me think.. have you rented a motorbike yet and drove around the island? That was one of my favorite things to do in Hawaii!! SO SO SO SO SO FUN!!!!! <3 u!
Yay! Love your blog and your first update! We had fun with you guys in Kona. We may need to make it an annual trip :)
Beautiful pics Tracy! I look forward to checking your updates regularly. How are you a wimp when it comes to heat? Didn't you live in California??? LOL
