| I went to the big island to get married and I fell in love with the island. The coffee is unbelievably good and I came home with a lot in my suitcase. I didn't do the tours of the plantations but it is high on my list of things to do if I ever get to go back. The problem is if I do go back I might never leave, lol. |

| Getting back there is on our "someday" dream list, too! Hmm, maybe we should retire there someday, you and I and our sweethearts... we could operate a little export business, selling plants (and chocolate covered coffee beans?) on the DG Marketplace! LOL |

| Bayview farms does make excellent dark chocolate covered espresso beans... just don't try shipping those in hot weather! We made our own one year, got a bag of espresso roast peaberry coffee and used it as centers in miniature dark chocolate truffles... wowzers. |

| You are a mind reader critter - I was thinking the same thing. "It will be a perfect place to celebrate an anniversary too" : ) |

| That's a good goal : ) We are hoping for the same, but that means we only have two years left to do it. So maybe 7 will be more realistic for us. I kind of want to bring the kids some time. Key word "kinda". ; ) |
