While there wasn&#8217;t much coral, Nina was able to pick up five small seashells to add to her collection. This is a very nice beach park along with a large campground. I&#8217;ve no idea what a camp spot costs, but it can&#8217;t be very much. Budget-minded travelers could easily spend a week at a place like this and have a very nice visit to Hawaii.

A part of this article will be in the center section of this Saturday&#8217;s Church News. There&#8217;s a nice picture of Nina and me in the article and it&#8217;s possible that that picture may even make it to the printed article.
