Some of the hardest decisions of my Life were made about ChocolateBy Madelyn Miller, the TravelLadyI ate them all. I tasted everyone. I was a judge at the Kona Chocolalte Festival And all the entries in the 2007 Kona Chocolate Festival were memorably delicious. Even if I forget about the fabulous flavors, my hips are a lasting testament to this festival. (other people choose to get a temporary chocolate tattoo which was much less fattening and lots of fun) Imagine sitting outside, listening to great music and tasting chocolate. Sounds heavenly—it was. Be there next year. You can judge for yourself.

I think the most important thing to know about the Big Island of Hawaii is about the Kona Chocolate Festival. But since I am a chocoholic, I may not be objective. Here are some other tips about the Big Island. BEST WAY TO GET TO HAWAIIATA BEST WAY TO GET BETWEEN ISLANDSgo! operates 60 flights a day from its Honolulu hub to
