Yeah, I certainly didn't go out at night (in charge of the kids). We only got over to Hilo once, I think we drove back up that side after visiting Volcanoes National Park. And making the return trip through windey roads in the fog caused one kid to get carsick. That was fun. But we went to a luau at one of the big hotels, went up north to the falls and white sand beaches, went to a couple different beaches/parks south of Kona that had awesome snorkeling. We ate 80% of our meals outside on the patio. My room on the second floor had a lanai with a beach view. The house was set up as a corporate vacation home. I think I found it on satellite view not too long ago.
The previous summer I had nannied for the same family when they lived in Chicago. They live in one of the fancy north suburbs. The house they lived in was in a Michael Jordan commercial and they lived close to a beach where they filmed parts of Ferris Bueller. Then they moved to Japan for awhile, after that they moved to Australia. By that time I was married and they didn't ask me to nanny.
