Hawaii...Day 6...A Day of Rest


I'm going to try and keep this entry as short as possible. It is Sunday, and that is the Day of Rest, so we all decided to keep this day simple. After a short meeting with a World Mark representative, who was really a nice guy whose job it is to try and tempt owners into updating their points and program for the best benefits for them. We had a nice chat, but told him that we were really not in a position to take on another debt at this time. He was congenial and for our efforts in showing up for the meeting, we received a $50.00 American Express gift card. Easiest $50.00 I ever earned.

Dean had done some research and it was decided that we would go to this quaint little church for Sunday services. It is the oldest built church in the islands, and sits right across the street from the Queen's Palace on Ali'i Street. It was a very nice service and the topic of the sermon fit right into our experiences on the island.



After church, we just wandered around town, going our separate ways. Billy wanted to go back to the condo to rest; Anna wanted to go shopping; and Dean and I walked through the boardwalk area, sipping on delicious smoothies, enjoying the beautiful flowers and the ocean view, and just had a really nice afternoon. I think we all really needed this rest today.









Later in the evening, we all got together and went out for a delicious Thai dinner and then walked around some more, enjoying the evening breezes and each other's company.

Though this day was not packed solid with activities, it was one of the best days to just unwind and enjoy our next-to-the-last night in Kailua/Kona. I will be sad to leave! Oh,yes, we got a movie from the front desk at the World Mark and went back up to our room after our dinner and walk to watch "Wall-E!" We all thought it was a good movie. But, then we are all kids at heart and thoroughly enjoy kids movies!
