The best mac nuts I found were bought from some Hawaiians selling them along with jewelry and other trinkets at an overlook near South Point on the Big Island. I was really just being polite, we stopped to take pictures, not buy anything but they were there and you know how that goes. The guy gave us some interesting history on the area and we were appreciative. Little did I know the nuts were fabulous, and far superior to those we found elsewhere. Naturally we did not get back that way. I would have bought 20 lbs if we had. Must have been the freshness, the ones we get in cans around here are nothing close.

I can't seem to locate the picture but we passed a house, near Volcano Village on the BI and they were using these large calla lilies for a hedge. There must have been 10,000 of them along the road - all blooming. It was a sight.

Give Carol a hug from me too, you are in for quite a treat.
