 Activities/Things To Do
We have a few planned “group” activities that we would love people to enjoy with us if you can make them. The rest of the activities listed are just things that we have either done or heard a lot of good things about so you can enjoy yourselves if you want on the island while Deanna and Kevin get to enjoy some Honeymoon time alone! (We love you all, but hey we want ‘our time’ too!)
Group Activities
Please let us know if you are in for any of the “group” activities so we can get head counts and plan reservations accordingly.
First is a sort of a “beach BBQ” or some catered beach party.
When: Wednesday September 21st around 2PM
Who: Everyone that is invited to the wedding! Just let us know if you will be on the island by that day and if you want to come!
Why: Because a lot of people coming don’t know each other. What better way than food, beach and sun to get to meet people? Our families will get to mingle for the first time as well as our guests and families.
What to bring?: Your swim suit, towel, sunscreen and appetite!
Cost: Free to you!!
Where: Spencer Beach - website
Second is a tradition that the Carlisle’s have enjoyed for many years, Sunday Champaign Brunch at the King Kamehameha's Kona Beach Hotel. This is really the brunch to beat all brunches. They have everything you could want and it is all very good!
When: Sunday September 25th around 10AM
Who: Everyone that is invited to the wedding!
Why: Because Deanna loves variety in her food, and what beats a brunch buffet for variety?
Where: King Kamehameha's Kona Beach Hotel
Cost: about $29.95 for adults, $13.99 for children (not sure what ages) and worth every penny!
“On your own” activities.
We have not done all of these, but we will note the ones that we have enjoyed.
Again, this is not an exhaustive list, but will give you a good place to start. Since the newlyweds will be enjoying some honeymoon time, these may be fun things to enjoy on your trip!
