I went to Kona in December and had an unbelievably awesome time. We stayed in an ocean front condo south of Keahou Bay and at the volcano village lodge (recommended in Wendy's book link). I drove all over thang dang island and had just a friggin blast. Hapuna Beach, the sea turtles, Cptn Cook's monument, etc. I probably had such a great time because my ladyfriend liked doing all the things I like to do (hike, snorkle, kayak, swim, etc.) and could do them well.

Cost? First class companion flight $200 plus $150 for 1 night at the volcano lodge. The condo was free. Buy your booze at Costco and drink on the cheap. Buy your trinkets at the ABC stores. Have a microbrew at the Kona Brew Co- the food and beer are pretty good.

We pretty much prepared our own food bought at Costo or a supermarket (KTA). The KTA had pretty good prepared Japanese food (sushi and marinated raw fish (can't think of the name)). Dinner at the volcano lodge was pretty damn expensive $25 each w/o drinks but I ate one of the best blackend tuna dinners I've ever had, plus the mango margarita was awesome.

I'm very tempted to go back, but I'm working on a trip to Costa Rica or Belize or something like that....
