(Serpent Bridge at Wailoa State park in Hilo Hawaii)


Aloha all…E Komo Mai…Welcome to my blog about Living (and Buying) in Paradise! “Paradise” is the Big Island of Hawaii and by “Buying” I mean purchasing your dream home or land, My name is Trevella Williams and I am a REALTOR® Salesperson with Local Hawaii Real Estate 808-756-1749. This blog is primarily devoted to Real Estate on the Big Island of Hawaii, of course we are going to sneak in plenty of talk story about ono grinds, aloha spirit, gorgeous gardens and great beaches as well!


Its that time of year again! Graduation is coming (in some cases it all ready came) and school is out for the summer in another week...my kids have been making fantastic plans for at least a month now! Said plans consist of how much sleeping, eating, video watching, swimming/girl watching, and general horsing around they can fit into each day! My girlfriends always look at me as if I have sprouted a third head, but I love it when the kids are on summer break...I do every thing I can to take some time off, load them & the crew up and road trip somewhere (its an island, we can only go so far before we come right back!), but its usually someplace near the water. Take some time with the family this summer! Be spontaneous & just go! Have fun and for heavens sake turn off the video player in the car...some of our favorite family memories are of the silly car games you play when on trips with kids!

One of my favorite places for lunch is Leungs Chop Suey House, I have not eaten the Chop Suey yet, but my all time favorite is their roast pork, big chunks of Chinese style crispy pig...yummy! The lemon chicken is tender and tangy, while the roast duck is flavorful and juicy! The Char Sui is extra tasty as well. Oh, and they make the best Won Ton Min I have ever had and in many different varieties...some with duck others with won tons and choi, lots to choose from! And very affordable...Aloha!
