Good for you!! Have a great time. I love Hawaii. I've spent quite a lot of time on both Maui and the Big Island. Lovely.

Snorkel! Snorkel! And if you like geology--we are serious geology weenies--it is incredibly interesting to drive around the Big Island, as well. If you are interested, you might want to take the book "Roadside Geology of Hawaii" with you--fascinating! I went to Hawaii (North Kohala Coast) for the first time in March and fell wildly in love with it.

Wonderful!
Dinner at Volcano Nat'l Park!
I was there with my brother/ The volcano was quiet, but my brother ordered escargot--one of which exploded (!) when he stabbed it with his fork. Talk about drama!
Desert was pie with mac nuts in the crust. Soooo tasty!!!!!Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.

We've been to the Big Island 4 times since 2003 when we took our tandem and circumnavigated it.
Love the geology, love to snorkel, love to hike...
When are you going in April?

We leave April 24th. Return May 3.
Did I mention that I'm excited? That's so cool that you rode your tandem around is the island, V!Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
