The Hawaiian Airlines app waiting animation is a guy swinging on a hammock between two palm trees swaying in the wind.
Mr. James from New Radio was on Night Court.

The Donut King across from the International Market Place has mochi donuts.

We need some stretch wrap.
The Home Depot website tells you which isle and bay it's in.
Which makes it much easier to find.
They also copy key fobs. That must be must cheaper than at the dealership.
We used the wrap on a suitcase to ensure it wouldn't open. We were flying a bunch of bags over to Kona.
Normally Hawaiian charges $30 for the first bag, $40 for the second, and $50 for other more. We signed up for their Huaka‘i program available only to residents, which gives us the first bag for free, the second for $20, and the third for $50. So very cheap if you only check two bags (in addition to two carry on bags): $20 for two bags instead of $70.

Ocean, coral reefs, and lava means landing at Kona.
The Fastbreak at Budget is very fast. You walk up, show them your ID, and they give you the car keys. No messing with paperwork or questions.
The road from the Kona airport to the highway is lined with palm trees.
A fire to the north.
Some goats on the side of the road.
A few more in the median.

I like the sign that says the sunset is this way.

Three more geckos.
Another.
They didn't clean under the master bed very well. We swept all kinds of stuff out from under it.
A park by the road has soccer nets.
A view of the park from Google Maps.
A bit farther down the road are some tennis courts.
Stopping at Walmart.
That seems really expensive for a Walmart eye exam.
Ogii saw a few cockroaches, so I bought lots of different bait.
Hopefully the geckos will help eat some cockroaches, too.
The Keauhou Shopping Center has these animal paintings on the walls.
More.
Aw, these are covered by mailboxes.
More.
More.
Even more.
Ogii sweeping the floors.
There was a lot of mail for past residents in the box. Hopefully not much more comes for them.

Back home in time for Ogii to watch the Waikiki Friday night fireworks.
