Aloha UHH friends!
Many of you were most generous with lots of awesome advice on visiting the Big Island; I'm posting these in gratitude for you. Thank you! Also, your critiques and comments aremost welcome. We are one week into a two week visit, so there is still plenty of time to practice :). My post processing skills are a work in progress. The vendor truck is tone mapped in Photomatrix - the others received hasty attention in Aperture 3.
Aloha and Mahalo,
Kerry

Hi tlbuljac! We've been hanging at the southernmost tip of the island... a natural magnet for Mainers in February! Heading north through Hilo tomorrow and then on to your favorite, the Kona Coast. Don't want to even think about going home!!!
