Big lsland Here We Come!

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 have not been to Hawaii but if I did go it would be to get my volcano fix. My bf and I are both geologists. Mmmm.....pahoehoe

GLC, I haven't been to Hawaii, either.
Funny, it doesn't really bother me.

I've been to Hawai'i twice. One of the trips we spent 3 wks. on Big Island and Kauai. Another trip on island of Maui.

I loved Hawai'i because...culturally to me, the underpinning and spirit of Hawai'i felt very different from the the rest of the U.S. Yes, we did some cycling.

We took a tour up to Mauna Kea in evening where it was a star-gazing trip and to research observatory. The clear night skies are gorgeous! You could lie down on the grass and see the whole sky filled with stars.

It is near the equator, etc.
