Vowels are the romance language sounds (ah, a, e, o, oo like in Spanish), and every vowel is a separate syllable except some diphthongs, e.g., au is ow (kau kau is food), ei is a (lei is lay). It's really pretty simple, but when you look at some of the long street names it won't seem so--just keep pronouncing; there are only 13 letters.

Careful icee...heart palpitations are common when one gets below 30 days.

gmac: Start batting...!! You may get palpitations if you have to wait too long.
How long has it been since your last fix?

Leaving in three days for three weeks on the Big Island (Kapoho-Honoka'a-Ke'ei)- woo hoo! And since I like to plan ahead--291 days til we're back again in south Kona.

How far from Kona is Kapoho? I'm assuming it's north?

Kapoho is on the east coast of the island of Hawaii in the Puna district--it is about 125 miles from Kona by either the northern or southern route.

What do you enjoy there? We plan on driving there for a day to see the falls and botanical gardens, anything else you recommend?
