Aloha,
Here is some additional information regarding the Hawaii Retreat that may be helpful.
It is usually best to arrive on the island of Hawaii for the Retreat a day or two early just to 'get there' and get over jet lag before the retreat begins. Often participants stay a few days or a week after if they can. The island of Hawaii is the largest of the Hawaiian islands and there is much to explore from Black Sand Beaches, Waipio Valley, the City of Refuge, the Volcano, Lava Tubes, Visiting with the Whales, Dolphins, Turtles, Steam vents. The list goes on.
You can arrive at Kalani, the Retreat Center, in the late afternoon between 2pm and 4pm. The check in time at the retreat center is 4pm the day the retreat begins so your room will definitely be ready at 4pm. We will begin that evening at 5pm in the Rainbow Room. We will have dinner about 6:30 that evening.
We hope to see you there in February!
Many Blessings
Tom & Donna
