I had been in Hawaii for a week. I needed to return the rental car. I called the rental company and asked about changing the drop off location to Hilo. They told me that it could not be changed. The car MUST be returned to Kona on the scheduled day at the scheduled time. So, I rented another car to be picked up in Kona and dropped off in Hilo – a one day rental. I am headed in to Kona to exchange cars. Tomorrow I will go to Hilo to drop off the second rental and pick up the car I bought earlier this week in Hilo.
Between South Point and Kona, is a beach called Hookena. It is 2 miles off the highway, and is a great place. The water is always warm and inviting.

It is a rainy day. It is overcast. It is a rainy day. It is overcast.
As I look out into the bay, I can see thirty or more dolphin fins coming up out of the water, and even a few of them jumping out and spinning in the air. I stand here in the rain and watch the dolphins playing in the bay, about twenty yards off shore. I walk down to the ocean edge and walk into the water. The water is warmer today than it is standing here in the rain.
