Let's Travel Around the World . . . follow the Hopper family as we literally hop around the planet for the trip of a lifetime. We will blog as a family, including the various adventuresome perspectives of a father, a mother, and a son; an engineer, a teacher, and a student; and even as an analyst, an optimist, and a surfer. Let's go check out this planet and its amazing people. Don't forget Buddy! Can you find him in our photos?

Hale Iki, Kona
The best "Little House" in the world! This is where time slows down, books get read, people are friendly, geckos scamper across the ceiling, birds chirp in the big Banyan tree, cowry shells hide out front, and everything just tastes and feels better. Hale Iki has been in our family for about 50 years; since Honey & Grampy came to Kona to visit Uncle Ted & Aunt Jo and the Highleys back in the late 1960's. What a fabulous generation! Grampy had the vision for this paradise and Honey had the projects lined up. I'm not kidding, Honey could go-go-go! Whenever we come to Hale Iki, it feels like home. In fact, we remodeled our home in San Diego to capture some of this ohana and aloha feeling of Grampy's design style. But you really just have to be here in the warm air, listening to the waves all night long to really appreciate the gift Honey & Grampy preserved. Want to see more?
