Lots of snorkeling, eating and drinking on the Kona side. Spend time on Ali’i boardwalk. That being said, it’s absolutely worth doing some excursions to other parts of the island - Waipio Canyon, Volcanoes National Park, Black Sands Beach and Green Sands. Spent a week there earlier this summer - happy to give you my itinerary!

I’m married, and one of my coworkers flirts with me. Nothing super overt, but definitely not professional. We’re good friends and work together constantly because we’re on the same client, so I don’t want to make it awkward. Do I just do nothing and let it go? It is mostly just odd I’m not super offended, but I’m also clearly uninterested!
