I was so excited to have the opportunity to visit the Kona Coffee Living History Farm that it was one of the few things planned on this trip. So, when my route took me to the South from Kona I made sure to drop in (originally I passed right by,...
An invitation from my Nephew to hang out and boondock on Treasure Island for a few days had to be accepted. Honestly, even though I lived in the SF Bay Area for 37 years, not once did I take the Treasure Island exit – so it was a mini adventure...
