| Aloha ...! Oh how we miss you ...! We just got back Saturday and all is well! Today is my first day back at work. I have done nothing but raved about our trip (especially the Big Island) and about you, ... and the Kona Lani! Our visits to Maui and Oahu could not compare to our visit and stay with you - YOU MADE OUR HONEYMOON! We cannot thank you enough! We did enjoy the other islands, but I think they were a little too commercial for Mike. He has raved to his friends how cool it was to go to the coffee plant with you and how it truly was like visiting family! We spent a lot of time last night watching the video he shot of our stay! Again I cannot thank you enough for your hospitality and kindness! AND.... we are totally spoiled now on our taste for coffee! Thank you for your generous gift. Be assured that we will enjoy every bean! Can't wait until I tell Mike - he will be thrilled! ... I cannot say "Mahalo" enough. I'm hoping that Mike's mom will plan a trip to visit there, and will also to be sure to tell .... how great their recommendation was! Our fondest regards, Jean and Mike |
| Just had to tell you. ... cannot
stop talking about how wonderful
it was staying with you and how beautiful the locale and how
knowledgeable
you are. They were sorry they didn't plan a longer stay with you.
.... said that after they left and were sight seeing, etc., ....
would
say, "Where's Tom..." They have wonderful memories to
treasure. Best of luck in your wonderful venture. Sincerely Angela & Tony |
| It was wonderful staying with you
.... Your place is fabulous.
We enjoyed the accommodations and the company. ...
Thanks
for your hospitality. Kit and I will be breaking into the bananas
tomorrow. Mona |
| Aloha ...! Michael and I were just reminicing last night of how one year ago this week we had met you and were enjoying our honeymoon! OH HOW WE MISS THE BIG ISLAND! The week spent at your place was one of the most memorable times in our lives. We have started a "future" vacation fund so hopefully one day we can return... and bring with us our Hawaiian souvenier - baby Michael! He already has the wardrobe - see the enclosed picture! Hope all is well with you! Best wishes, Jean |
| I MISS YOU ... very much.
Had such a wonderful time.... Fresh wonderful Kona coffee fresh
guava
juice, avocado trees, a visual feast.... and the most beautiful
countryside.
Thank you both so much for the snorkeling (will never
forget
granddad turtle) and your music is beautiful, and showing me the
island... It was an unforgettable vacation love Nancy |
| We really did feel at home at
your place, perhaps too much so!! Tori and I rarely stay
in the same place twice in our vacation time, but your place and
hospitality will break that run, I am sure. The Happiest of Holidays to
you and Dmitri. Cyd |
| We so enjoyed our visit. .... I
will only ever stay at the Konalani when I next come to Hawaii. Thank
you so much. Jon |

Thank you ... for the wonderful accommodations while we
searched for our home here on the Big Island. The several months in
your condo suite were so quiet and relaxing we will always remember
your hospitality. You certainly are a most generous host and
made our stay comfortable and fun. We even became attached to the
kitty's too. Kona Lani is certainly a beautiful environment, decorated
impecably and interesting to experience with the constant coffee
production and fruit available from the gardens. Being an artist
-my appreciation of the views were one of inspiration, the
fruits tasty and coffee divine!! It was always wonderful to have
on the table some of the abundance from the
gardens. The best part is that we have found and
continue a great friendship and share many experiences living here
on the Big Island! Kona Lani is a special place - and a
blessing to experience here in Hawaii.
Aloha, Cindy & Robert |
| ....We had such a wonderful week there. I can tell you that if you weren't so far away we would definitely join you more often. ...Lynne and Jessie |
| We're back home ...and already
missing the islands. With no exaggeration, the week we spent with
you was the most fun i've ever had with my clothes on. We
couldn't have been welcomed more warmly or made to feel more
welcome. The accomodations were every bit as fine as a Four-Star
hotel, and the breakfasts were truly delicious! Our rooms were so
beautifully decorated they could have appeared in a magazine.
Kudos ... for the lush grounds! I don't feel I missed anything by
not visiting the Botanical Gardens -- they couldn't have been any more
beautiful. And your company was so much fun -- we really enjoyed
visiting with you. ... We learned so much more about your
beautiful island than we ever would have without your company. Thanks a
million -- you truly made our vacation. I waited such a
long time to visit Hawai'i that I was afraid I would be disappointed by
by the reality. But it was even better than my fantasy, thanks to
you ..... It was my first trip, but it certainly won't be my
last. Mahalo ... and I'll see you again. ...Judy |
| I .. truly enjoyed myself,
the best vacation ever thanks to you .... I enjoyed the trip to
your island much more than Oahu. Too much traffic and too many
people. ... Again thanks for everything. .... Gary |
| I wish we could be back
here on your wonderful coffee plantation ( with all those wonderful
fruit trees)and enjoying those fantastic breakfasts that you coooked
for us. We would love to return ..... We have the fondest memories ...
and how much we enjoyed it there. Hopefully we can return someday and
do it all over again........ Lynne and Jessie |
