“Stickers” Kona, 2024
We arrived on the Big Island! I love the stickers… so cool. And they make me hungry…

I went for a long run on the Strand to close out the year on a high note, and I took my Insta360 X3 camera with me to take some footage for a video. Please watch if you have some time!
One thing that I found interesting is that even though I ran a distance of 13+ miles, it seemed much shorter since there were so many interesting things to look at. The time just flew by!
On our flight, we got priority seating and also sat in the row that had free drinks, alcohol included! I still don’t know how it works other than it’s one of the perks that Mariko has due to her status on American Airlines. I enjoyed the extra room and we shared a beer, which made the flight a bit nicer! One downside was that we were just behind first class, so I could see and smell the dinner that they were enjoying… it made me so hungry!
Today is my return flight to Austin. I have a bunch of goodies to bring back, including several frozen burritos and chimichangas which I cannot buy in Texas. My bag got pulled aside for a check at TSA, and the agent asked if I was carrying food. I said yes, some frozen burritos. He asked if they were Ramona’s, and I replied yes. He asked if they were beef and potato, to which I also replied yes. Then we got into a nice conversation about which flavors we preferred, and then he said that he will stop by the store on the way home and buy some for dinner. So funny!
