One correction: In the photo of Paul McCartney, two of the children are not his. They are my ex-girfriend and her brother, whose family was among the founding shareholders of the resort. When their mother saw Sir Paul in the water, she commanded them to go play with him for the photo op, which my ex did not want to do, and which is why she is crinkling her face. Of course she now loves the photo.Marchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03455681592192564233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8044541580633294348.post-9874180590019624012014-02-13T18:39:03.919-05:002014-02-13T18:39:03.919-05:00Hello ,

In the West we are still mourning the loss of Kona Village, a resort on the Big Island of Hawaii, also known for its beauty, privacy, and excellent food, which was, alas, destroyed by the tsunami a couple of years ago. Also--- I love that you changed the pillows. ( I often have to rearrange the furniture in my hotel room.)
