After
my husband and I arrived at Kona International Airport, we took a free shuttle bus to Hertz Car Rental. (My previous entry :
A Rental Car and Gas Prices on the Big Island, Hawaii) Then, we went to Costco to find unique products of Hawaii. (My previous entries :

Then, we checked in at Sheraton Kona Resort & Spa at Keauhou Bay. (My previous entry :

We decide to take a walk around the Hotel. There were many different kinds of Hawaiian trees we had never seen before. We also saw surprisingly numerous Hawaiian birds there.

This hotel, Sheraton Kona Resort & Spa at Keauhou Bay, is built on lava cliffs so close to the ocean. We stood on black lava rocks and were able to see the beautiful view of Keauhou Bay.

Then, I found this beautiful yellow flower of plumeria on the ground. I have seen pictures of plumeria in Hawaiian brochure or guidebooks so many times in my life, but this was my first time to see actual Hawaiian plumeria. :) I felt Hawaii by this view of Hawaiian plumeria on the black lava rocks. :)

I looked up and found that the bloom of plumeria was from this tree.

I didn't know that plumeria was such a big tree.
