In Kapoho, we enjoy hanging out at the house we rent www.lagoonhouse.com, snorkeling in the lagoon behind the house and swimming in the Champagne Pond that is between the house and the open ocean, having dinner at Paolo's Bistro in Pahoa and just relaxing. Kapoho is about 45 minutes south-east of Hilo and it sounds like the area you are exploring is northwest of Hilo (Akaka Falls, Hawaiian Tropical Botanic Gardens??), don’t know if you’d have time to drive on down there. If you do, you might enjoy swimming in the volcanically-heated pool at Ahalanui Park on highway 137 or snorkeling in the tide pools in Vacationland—the Wai’opae Tide Pools http://hawaii.gov/dlnr/dar/mlcd_waiopae.html (go close to high tide—DH says best coral on the island).

Thanks Lookin_Glass... A friend recommended a trip to Home Depot and I was completely nonplussed until he explained that I needed a truckload of sand to turn my living room into a beach!
I like the tropical flowers and leis suggestions a whole lot more
No tuna or poke or pancakes just yet as I have gastritis

13 days!!!! When hubby asked where I wanted to go for much needed vacation of course it was Hawaii. Spending 1 week on the northshore of Kauai, 1 week at our timeshare near Kona and soaking up as much aloha spirit as we can in 2 weeks! This is our 7th trip to the islands but we havent been for many years. I'm "home sick"!
