Up at 5:30 AM as usual! Had our coffee and breakfast on the lanai for the last time. \u00a0Took a few last photos of sunrise and clouds. Then started the packing and checking to make sure we had everything before taking our leave of Flower Hill.<\/p>\n
We left about 8 AM \u00a0to return to Akaka Falls to see if the sky would cooperate and provide some blue instead of gray for photo ops. Yea, there was blue sky and whit puffy \u00a0clouds! \u00a0Took some photos and got some steps too. \u00a0AND, we were able to get aan earth cache too–#1 for the day.<\/p>\n
Next we headed for anothet nearby beach park to check out another waterfall. \u00a0Not so impressive, but took some photos anyway. \u00a0Joyce went looking for a cache while Gary did the photo thing. \u00a0No luck on finding the ccache.<\/p>\n
Still in search of another cache we returned for the third time to the shave ice spot to look once more for the cache that’s supposed to be there. \u00a0No luck even though there were only a few people around at 11 AM.<\/p>\n
Then on to Rainbow Falls for one last photo op. No rainbow at 11:30 in the morning. \u00a0Too late!<\/p>\n
Gary, still in need of a Hawaiin shirt, took the advice of our hosts and shopped in Walmart.<\/p>\n
One last try to locate an interesting Post Office to photograph was a bust. \u00a0It was time to get to the airport, return the rental car and check in. After passing security we had lunch in the waiting area to use up the last of our food items.<\/p>\n
Almost readyto board \u00a0the flight for Honolulu.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
