I thought Waimea was on the coast.(or maybe thats Wailea?), Oh well, its too long ago I was there, I spent time on Hawaii, Oahu, Kuai, Lanai,Maui all at different times ...getting them all confussed now...lol
my favorite was the big island...guess Im not as most tourists... but one of my favorite things was bicycling from the top of Haleakala all the way down to the beach...!
and my favorite drive was 'the road to Hana'!
made me go look , ok , yes its Waimea up there what I was referring to, theres a great German restaurant there too, ! lol
