I did it! I went without my computer for nine days! We had a great Staycation at the Four Seasons Hualalai. What a great resort! What a great property! What great people! Of course, I knew all that, but I’d forgotten the special feeling of each combined element that greets you from the moment you walk into the hotel lobby.
I can also recommend the in-room dining menu. I’m an expert at it since my husband was sick with the flu the whole time we were there. We ate dinner in the room six nights. It might have been a record. The chicken soup is like a Z pack.
As an added attraction, the Super moon created a special ambiance several nights. Here it is setting over the ocean at daybreak.
Your editor is going on a staycation and will hopefully not have computer access! I’m going to be free as a bird! See you in a week!
THE MILKY WAY THIS MORNING FROM 10,000 FEET ON MAUNA KEA. IT WAS A COOL 28 DEGREES AT TWO AM.
The BLUE HOUR, which lasts ten minutes as the sun comes up on the horizon.
Wednesday is the official beginning of spring, but signs of it are all around Hualalai.

Although we don’t change our clocks here, our near and dear on the mainland are doing so. That means it’s now a 3 hour time difference for those of us with West Coast connections and 6 for East Coasters. Translate that for me: When it’s sunset here, I have two grandsons who might or might not be asleep in New Hampshire. Sorry that I’m remiss for Mountain and Central Time. Math is not my strong suit.

We must not forget that the Ancients were here long before us. They left their indelible mark in many ways. One is with petroglyph drawings. Thank you, Bill McDowell, for your photographs that chronicle the ties we keep with them.
Yesterday morning when I passed the Canoe Club, I noticed a photo shoot in session.
Last evening at the Resident’s Beach House, the crew was enjoying dinner!
To read my full take on this happening, you can go to my blog, A Corner of My Mind, at cyndymuscatel.blog
When it’s rainy, windy and chilly, Mauna Kea gets a whipped cream topping.
Could there ever be a better walk?
The newest addition to PBS Hawaiʻi’s broadcast schedule doesn’t have a set airtime. GET CAUGHT READING is a new statewide multimedia initiative from PBS Hawaiʻi, made up of community members reading excerpts from their favorite book or poem for on-air and online, as well as in-person events. The program encourages viewers to find books and poems that make them wonder where the hours went, that turn “have to read” into “want to read.”
Starting tonight, GET CAUGHT READING videos will air in the intervals between our regular programs. You’ll hear community members read passages that hold deep meaning to them, and see how fun (and funny!) it can be to get caught wrapped up in a great book. All of these videos are streamed at pbshawaii.org/get-caught-reading/.
We hope you enjoy, and share with us the book you can never put down using #GETCAUGHTREADING.
