We have a bunch of the Wizard pub books. They are a great read. Thom works for Lonely Planet and their book is not nearly as good. It actually sounds they are trying to dissuade you from going to see the lava.

Sounds like you'll be on the BI the same time we are. If you see a crazy chick riding a red bike, on Christmas Eve/Day that will be me.

Have a safe ride, Veronica. I'll be watching for you and give you a holler if I see you.

Hi Veronica,
How was your ride around the Big Island? How about a report? Every time I saw a red bike I had to look to see if it was someone that might have been you. I found one gal on a red bike, but that was on Oahu and I know you weren't going there. I fully planned on stopping every woman I saw on a nice red bike on the B.I. and asking her if her name was Veronica, but the closest I came was seeing a large black man on a red bike.
We had a wonderful six weeks in Hawaii. It was sure hard to come home to sub-zero temps. this week!

I had knee issues after the climb to Volcano and stopped in Hilo - 120 miles into the ride. I had hoped to ride some more when we relocated to Volcano from the coast. But we cut our trip short when burglars attempted to rob us a second time, Dec. 27. I was hoping we could hook up when we moved to Volcano. But...C'est la vie.

I wrote about the ride in the Christmas Eve thread I think.

Six weeks in Hawaii! I would love that!

Sorry to hear about your knee issues. There were several tours climbing that mountian around volcano when we dove by in the car. They were all working very hard. Looked like challanging climbs. I'm afraid I would have been doing a lot of walking. The high winds did not help at all. As for the burglars, I guess bad guys are everywhere, even in paradise. I'm glad you were not harmed. Perhaps you'll just have to try the trip again for your 41st birthday.

The burglars were here in California.
