Kohala Coast, Hawaii | Evening | Sunday | February 20

As the sun gave way to the moon, the lights around the Big Island started coming on, brightening up the dark sky. Night falling just meant several new ways for the guests to enjoy themselves! A slight wind ruffled the palm trees but the temperature remained warm, making it comfortable enough to take long walks on the beach or just enjoy gazing up at the clear night sky.

There was still plenty to do, though! Nighttime activities were starting to swing into motion, music was wafting along the breeze, drawing people towards it's rhythmic sounds, and the smells of Hawaiian dishes were prevalent.

It was nighttime in Hawaii and the vacation had just begun!

The Lounge's (http://www.fairmont.com/orchid/GuestServices/Restaurants/LuanaLounge.htm) contemporary residential decor rambles through indoor/outdoor seating areas, inner bar and lanai overlooking the grounds and the blue Pacific. Paired with a refreshingly eclectic Big Island-inspired menu of pupu (appetizers) and nightly Hawaiian entertainment designed to put guests at ease, the resort embodies the Hawaiian translation of Luana to the fullest -- to be at leisure, enjoy pleasant surroundings and associates, live in comfort and ease, enjoy oneself, relax and be content. E Luana Mai!

Kahakai means 'beach' in Hawaiian and this beachside bar (http://www.fairmont.com/orchid/GuestServices/Restaurants/KahakaiBar.htm) features a Polynesian-style thatched roof, refreshing trade winds and billion dollar views of Mauna Kea and the blue Pacific. A variety of tropical libations and mouth-watering pupu (appetizers) are served.

All done! Ping down here if you have questions!
