Driving...
We make the trip to one port or the other, east or west, Puna/Hilo or Kailua-Kona, sometimes many times in a week. My last three days consisted of:- Saturday up at 6am, cut and process 250 flowerheads, load the Jeep, on the road by 11am and drive to Puna-side to deliver them (total drive time with stops: 2 hours 30 minutes.) Played volleyball for 5 hours, then drove home (another 1 hour 45 minutes.)
- Sunday slower start, but still had to get both the Jeep and the Jetta cleaned up, and vaccuumed, before we took off in the car for Puna-side again. This time only to Kea'au (drive time: 1 hour 20 minutes) for potluck and movienight with the boys. (Another 1 hour and 20 minutes to get home.)
- Monday on the road by 8am, headed Kona-side this time for errands and shopping. We made it home by 3, so I guess it was a 7 hour round trip, with an hour each at the doctor's office, Walmart, Safeway, and Costco.
Now, Bob will take the car back Puna-side to Hilo tomorrow. Tolver and I are going to Kailua-Kona again on Wednesday. Bob delivers flowers, and goes to the gym Puna-side on Thursday. Friday we all get to stay home, but Saturday it starts all over again...
Driving can be very meditative, but sometimes it is an exhaustive fight to keep from getting hypnotized to sleep.
