I moved over to the Big Island five days ago. My friend Mary and I are here until the end of the month.

I wanted to tell you more about the trip but computer tragedy struck and I no longer have a functioning keyboard. I am now limping along with my iPhone. Although I use my phone a lot I am not great typing long on it. Sigh.

Before my communications went south, I did spend an amazing day at The Hawaiian Botanical Gardens and I mad a slide show of that day. And I can share that with you. If you ever get to the Big Island definitely add this destination to the top of your list.

It was lush. It was quiet. The flowers were odd and unique and beautiful. And the Orchids-Oh My! Even after spending a day at Volcanos NP, this Garden was the top hit of my visit so far.

I will attempt more. Until I get comfortable doing this on my phone enjoy the video.

Aloha from Hawaii.
