| ===== Venue ===== | ===== Venue ===== |
| The Waikoloa Resort area is about 20 miles north of the Kailua-Kona airport on the west side of Hawaii, and in the center of the Kohala coast, which is a very dry area with outstanding beaches. There are direct flights to this airport from San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Phoenix. You can also reach the airport through Honolulu, with many flights per day on Hawaiian Airlines. A special rate has been negotiated with the Hilton Waikoloa Resort for rooms. The big island has many climatic zones and is home to many waterfalls, the active volcano, and the observatories. The locals are quick to say that when measured from their base (in the ocean), Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea are the highest mountains in the world! The period from late November to March is also the season when the humpbacks winter in the central oceans, so they can often be seen off Hawaii in December. | The Waikoloa Resort area is about 20 miles north of the Kailua-Kona airport on the west side of Hawaii, and in the center of the Kohala coast, which is a very dry area with outstanding beaches.
