I spent the day doing very mundane things like shopping, cooking, and cleaning up. We watched a couple of hours of TV, and I read the Merc.

We ate a lot of fish on our trip, but it was mostly mahi-mahi and Ono, so we picked up some ahi at the Farmers’ Market and I made it for lunch.

I’d hoped to see snow on the hills from Friday’s storm, but it was too cloudy to see the tops of any of the mountains; the forecast calls for more snow this week, so there’s still a chance.

Not an exciting day, but I didn’t mind.

We’re home. The flights were uneventful; we had an exit row on the flight from Kona to Honolulu, and it had plenty of legroom. I wish I’d been able to save some of that legroom for the flight from Honolulu to San Jose, but it wasn’t quite as cramped as some flights I’ve taken.

I can definitely recommend Big Island Revealed and the companion driving guide app if you’re going to the Big Island; they have a lot of overlap (much of the driving guide app is the author reading sections of the book as you reach the appropriate point to appreciate the info) but I liked having both. We didn’t have time to stop at every point of interest along our routes – one place that I regretted having to zip past was the Donkey Ball Store, so I was delighted to find several varieties of Donkey Balls in the gift shop at the Kona airport.

We each had one for dinner tonight – it was delicious.
