The Big Island!

[@allisonbrown518]

Lady at Kona brewing did not look impressed lol. Ahh well... you guys do you. You’re the cutest! Off to Kona soon for the second time. Can’t wait. Hoping to see Waipio valley this stay. Enjoying your vlogs :)

Sunburns are easy to get there in Kailua-Kona. Lived on Big Island and that part of the island is known as burn prone.

[@tanyaa7166]

Beautiful video, looked like a good time. The food looked great too. Love watching your food adventures.

[@billandlisa]

Thanks Tanya! Always a good time when we visit Hawaii.

[@lisawalkerblodgett3055]

Have you been up Tashima’s? Up mauka by the Soto mission!! One of Hawaii’s oldest restaurants

[@HAcera-hs3hw]

Overcast days notorious for getting sunburn. Rays come from all directions... thanks for sharing the trip!

[@billandlisa]

Very true!

[@flot5926]

Our last family trip to Kona we stayed at a condo. We got some fresh abalone and lobster tails at the farm, got some steak from the market and grilled by the pool. That was fun and onolicious!

[@melissajensen3166]

Loved my Hilo Hattie’s in Kihei. I’m not sure we still have one. Maybe in Lahaina. I have a Condo in Kihei.

I love when you joke with Lisa and she looks at u funny

[@tmo7734]

Bill & Lisa, Here’s a suggested place to eat: Lava Java, which is near the Kona Village. Recommended by our hotel for lunch. It was very good and moderately priced.

[@kellichun5622]

Mrs. Barry’s cookies are my favorite! Our favorite place when we take our family staycation! You can order online if you’re craving for more cookies. They ship all over the world! Kona brewing beers now available at Sam’s club and Costco. Thank you for sharing! Aloha🤙🏼

[@billandlisa]

Thanks for the tip! Keep forgetting we can have most things shipped to the Mainland. lol

[@karenhouston4298]

That chowder looks delicious, wish I had a bowl

[@billandlisa]

Wasn't expecting good chowder in Hawaii, but it was very good!

[@mauimom1246]

Next time you guys are on the B.I, if you get to the Hilo side, you MUST eat at Ken's. They're just minutes from the airport in Hilo, and they have some bomb ono grinds! I'm a Maui girl but I go to B.I every few months, and if I fly in on the Hilo side, Ken's is always my first stop. Ono grinds, big portions, good prices, and wide variety, breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

[@billandlisa]

Good to know! Thanks for the recommendation, MM!

[@josephc28]

Both of the breakfast meals looked delicious.

[@shereemarlow3563]

Have you all ever snorkeled with the manta rays on the BI?

[@billandlisa]

We have not, sounds exciting.

[@lisawalkerblodgett3055]

Thank you for the peek at Kona airport. My favorite airport in the whole world

[@KananiBelle]

Next time youʻre on the big island, our favorite places to eat: Chubbyʻs (in the Kona bowling alley) has the BEST teriyaki beef, Umekeʻs for poke (Kona), Original Big Island Shave Ice for the BEST shave ice youʻll ever taste (check their IG for locations), and Hawaiian Style Cafe (Waimea or Hilo) for amazing food (breakfast is sold all day), and Texʻs in Honokaʻa has the best malasadas EVER - canʻt wait to see what your next trip to Hawaii holds!

[@billandlisa]

Thanks for all the recommendations, DHM!

[@lisawalkerblodgett3055]

Oh how I love that little outdoor produce and craft market in Kona, near the library and just a Little but south of the church. Huge heads of butter leaf lettuce for a $1 and 5 huge avocados for $2!

[@craighuxtable746]

ABC Stores , Kona Beer ..... two of my favorite things in Vegas! Yes, I know this was a Hawaii video , but I've only experience those things in Sin City. All that shark bait surfing in the water... crazy humans!

[@SuiGenerisAbbie]

Hapuna beach is wonderful, with soft surf!

[@billandlisa]

Agreed, but the tides can get a bit rough there.

[@SuiGenerisAbbie]

@@billandlisa We were there in early February and the waves were like .... ohhhh, 1 foot Hawai'ian? (LoL!)

[@bkproductions3569]

Nice editing. Interesting to see my home from a visitors perspective.

[@pumpkinprincess1031]

Hawaiian breakfasts are the best!

[@billandlisa]

They are! I was going to get the loco coco, maybe next time!

[@jessicahenry222]

You guys are super cute ❤ thank you for sharing

[@billandlisa]

Our pleasure!

[@flot5926]

I was wondering if the people behind you at Kona Brewery recognized you or just never saw vloggers before...whatever! LOL great job finding the hidden gems. Mrs. Barry's cookies are the bomb! 😎🤙

[@trisandmadi]

Another good one!

[@billandlisa]

Mahalo!

[@lisawalkerblodgett3055]

Vast is a good word

[@Lfundoo]

Do you remember which of Mrs. Barry's cookies were your favs? Mine is the coconut shortbread! Winnahs! Aloha, Linda

[@billandlisa]

Don’t recall, but they were all good!

[@autumnskye5882]

My kinda day 🌸🤙🌺

[@billandlisa]

Day in Hawaii can't be beat. Such amazing food and views there!

[@suejmaryoung]

Thanks for the tip that you need to rent a car. Btw, are there any taxis or buses on the big island to take you to places ?

[@billandlisa]

Not sure, we don't recall seeing your typical taxis or busses around town. Rideshare is available.

[@lisawalkerblodgett3055]

Kahlua pork on pizza..., only in Hawaii 💕

[@lisawalkerblodgett3055]

Hapuna Beach! 😭😭😭👏👏👏😊😁😁

[@lisawalkerblodgett3055]

Oh I miss that place. Yes! Never turn your back on the ocean. That’s a wonderful place to swim when calm.... dangerous when rough

[@billandlisa]

Agreed!
