Tourist Guide

No trip to Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii is complete without getting all hopped up on caffeine. The drive up the mountains to get to these coffee plantations are a little steep and challenging, but well worth it for the views #lifeatexpedia

Coffee’s pretty much a must when visiting Big Island. The trek up the mountains of #Kona is a bit scary, but well worth it #LifeAtExpedia
This playground felt like something you'd find at Legoland or Disneyland. But no, this was a delightfully free place to stop alongside the highway in Hawaii! The highlight was the slide that took the kids through two and a half full turns in complete darkness. Good stuff!
