Hey Mat, thanks for the post. I hope your stock picks are better than your choice of neighbor islands! <ggg>
No, really, I love Kona, lived there for a couple of years, and have many friends who still live there. Lived in Hilo for over 5 years and went to college there. If you want some pointers about the Big Island my e-mail is mkwalker@shaka.com. (If it wouldn't start a flame war I'd tell you about em right here) I'd be happy to tell you about the green sand beach, the hidden hot pool, and the best (but way out of the way) place to pick up a sandwich.
One of my dreams is to own a 2 acre coffee farm in Honaunau somewhere. Yea, old Mike, sitting on the lanai of an old but well kept coffee shack, sipping a cup of fresh (and I mean fresh) Kona Coffee. Looking down over all of Kona from up there. A few chickens scratching around in the yard, Sweet Karen coming in with a basket of fresh fruit and veggies from our little garden out back. A couple of great kids who aren't afraid to talk to the old man about the trials of growing up. And of course, at my feet is my trusty laptop, the friend who helped make all this possible.(pat-pat) And what's this? An e-mail from Nintendo Mat, says he's comin back to Kona again this Summer. Well, that'll be fun, haven't seen him in awhile.
Aloha, Mike |
