This sounds like an amazing opportunity! We didn't know about this place, or we would have visited it when we stayed in Kailua-Kona for a week this February! At least we don't feel bad about not knowing, as you grew up in Hawai'i and didn't know about it until recently! Kailua-Kona is a beautiful, beautiful place, and the opportunity sounds wonderful. Take lots and lots and lots of pictures, okay?

And have fun!
