island time

it's so peaceful here. arrived in kona after an epic day of air travel RDU/ATL/LAX/KOA. michelle was there to greet me at the airport; we had a nice time catching up on the drive back to their house on the other side of the island.  dinner with michelle, buzz and eve. then, some after supper star-gazing on thermarests just outside their dark house. going shopping today to supply our asssault on mauna kea tonight. will post pics later.
