Quaint, quirky, crowded Kona

By

Our trip to the Big Island concluded with two days in beautiful Kona. Once a sleepy little town, Kona has long since become a tourist mecca and a center for residents. Kona still has a quaint feel, but part of that might have been because we were there in the off season. Even though a cruise ship had come into port, there were very few tourists. Pau hana traffic, the jam up that happens at rush hour meanders through town at about 5 mph…for real. What this creates is a street where people jaywalk freely, roaming the streets in search of that perfect treat, gift, or photo.

About Terry

I started out as a skip tracer. Just in case you don’t know, that’s the guy who finds the people who don’t want to be found. It was the little things—getting paid to lie—that made skip tracing the fun part of the job.

Those years of chasing deadbeats taught me many valuable life lessons, such as liars come from all walks of life, and always keep your car in the garage.
