We stayed in the Kona Hilton and used it as our base to explore. One of
the restaurants we enjoyed very much was Jamesons, in Kona approximate
two miles down along the coast in Kona. We each had a fresh fish dinner
that was heavenly, excellent service and a WONDERFUL evening stroll
after.

Hilo didn't net me nearly the same pleasure -- food-wise... SWMBO did
bulk up on clothing at Hilo Hati's. That was an experience never to be
repeated...

DO NOT take your rental off the Non-AAA approved roads. There's a reason
they're not approved. <G>

If you haven't done this already, purchase a digital camera, extra
batteries (three should last your whole trip), and three memory cards.
You'll thank yourself with the ease you can transport everything in a
fanny pack.

Enjoy your trip! The people we met and island are a real joy.
