Tbugs,

Yes, I am still in Hawaii. I actually prefer Starbucks Columbian over the Kona bean. Just a matter of personal taste. Most of the Kona you see is a blend and not 100% Kona bean. 100% Kona is very expensive. We sometimes vacation in Kona and visit the coffee plantations to sip some of their fresh coffee.

K9-Lovers,

The only thing better than running in the rain is hiking in the rain forrest in the rain. Watch out for the wild pigs. There are no snakes in Hawaii so you can hike without worrying about where you go. We bring our lunch to eat beside the stream and waterfall. The wife picks Guava, mountain apples and avocado which makes my backpack a lot heavier coming back down the mountain. We will surely miss the year round tropical outdoors when we move.
