  We finally arrived at the Marriott after a very long day of traveling, at 11:30 pm on Friday May 23rd.  It was 5:30am Kingsport time.  We only stayed one night at the Marriott, until we could get into the Hilton Waikoloa Villiage, but it was very nice, and much easier to get in and out of in your rental car than the HWV.  We had a lovely breakfast outside, took some pictures of the grounds, swam in the lovely salt water pool, and snorkeled in the bay beyond their traditional Hawaiian fish ponds, until about 2pm.  Very nice day!
