Countdown to Kona: We Have Arrived!

Today is our first day at Bebo's Kona Coffee farm, After  a full morning of travel and a quick trip to Costco, we got straight to work chilling with the amazing Bebo and his equally wonderful wife, Karen.  The farm is gorgeous, the family dog (Posse) was kind enough to give us a guided tour of the back acres where the bulk of the coffee grows.  While the bulk of our lush scenery consists of rugged, lava rock trails and coffee beans inching ever closer to ripeness, just over the tops of these trees we have an unobstructed view of the Kona cost.  Spectacular doesn't begin to do this place justice.  Bebo and his wife represent the epitome of hospitality, anyone who stays at their B&B would be treated like royalty, and family.

Tomorrow marks our first day of actual work on the premises - weed whacking and branch removal.  To look at the sheer size of the property and consider this task is an exercise in futility.  Everyone agrees that this sort of work is just a matter of one step at a time, little by little, till the job is done.  It has to be done, just not all in one day.  We're pretty excited to get started.  I know our chores sound labor intensive, but right now it just doesn't translate as "work" to us.  I'll probably feel different after 4 hours of laborious farm chores, but right now I'm feeling nothing but bliss.

Pictures and video will posted soon, I promise!
