Kailu Kona is unique tnat I always go there for work.There is dryside and wetside for sometimes also have snow on mountain and still have those active volcanoe for view.The island was big and lots of place for view or big enough for cruising around.

Our trip was made difficult by all the coronavirus restrictions. We couldn't use the beach or go in the ocean, had to order take out food and life became very difficult. Then our flight was cancelled and we had to pay for a new one.

I love the Big Island but with the Corona virus going on, throughout the world, things were starting to shutdown and you couldn't visit many places. We still had a nice time, visiting friends and family there.
