Kailua-Kona Things To Do
Kailua-Kona: Renewal of life and spirit Renewal of life and spirit by KiKitC
Pu'uhonau O Honaunau is not in Kailua-Kona, but I've placed it in this section because if you are staying on the Kona side of the island, it is just a short trip south on 11, onto Napoopoo Road. This former royal ground and place of refuge is a sacred site. It has been operated as a restored site by the state and offers a fantastic look at life then. But the soul of the park is the sacred site of refuge. No blood may be shed here. At the Hale o... [read more]

Have You Heard the News?

There’s a new baby boy in our midst. And thanks to Sue_Stone for filling us in because we hadn’t heard anything about this exciting event. Sue reports that, “lovely Italian VT'er Fra.da. recently had a baby boy called Lorenzo.”

Thanks Sue; and congratulations Francesca and Lorenzo.



The World's Top 10 Ugliest Buildings

The great thing about travel may be seeing the world through a different lens, but that doesn't mean the view is always pretty. With this in mind, the travel experts at VirtualTourist.com have come up with a list of "The World's Top 10 Ugliest Buildings and Monuments." General manager, Giampiero Ambrosi talks about the selections: "Some of these picks have all the charm of a bag of nails while others are just jaw-dropping in their complexity. Love them or hate them, the list is certainly entertaining."



We LOVE hearing from VirtualTourist members and visitors alike. We frequently get notes just letting us know that you're out there and you're enjoying VT. Very often we'll forward the mail around to the rest of the team, to share the love. Drop us a note, we'd love to hear from you.

You can see more community news items from previous days in the Community News Archives Drop us a note at feedback@virtualtourist.com if you'd like your item to be considered.
