Mahukona so called Beach. There is no beach here. But it is very interesting. From 1881 until World War II, it was the terminus of the Hawaiian Railway. There was a sugar mill and it was a busy harbor.
Went up north today, to check out a wood carving exhibition. And to eat lunch. And to look for whales. Everything was good. But no whales. Not even a blow.
Getting it together. No, not my life! My trip back to east.
- Room for 3 nights at Grand Canyon. Done

- Plane to San Diego. Done.
- San Diego to Grand Canyon. Not Done.
- Grand Canyon to Flagstaff. Not Done.
- Room for 1 night in Flagstaff. Not Done.
Why San Diego, you might ask? Price. $190 from Kona to San Diego. $330 from Kona to Los Angeles. A no brainer. And if I want to actually end up in LA – well, nothing says I have to get on that plane from LA to San Diego. The hidden city ploy. But, for now, I am cool with going to to San Diego.
What is the hidden city ploy?
