The Big Island

 

This was the best time I've ever had in Hawaii.  We stayed at the Fairmont on Kona, I played while Ruth worked!  I got to go where-ever and when-ever the mood hit me.

Favorite Activities: Lounging on the white sand beach with the turtles at our hotel, learning Hawaiian basket weaving, and jumping in the car and just driving.  I got to explore everything from rainforest to ancient hieroglyphics.
 
My Favorite Spots: Punalu'u (The Black Sand Beach), Lapakahi (Ancient Fishing Village), Ahalanui (Natural Ocean Thermal Pond), and last but certainly not least Kilauea (Youngest, Most Active Volcano on Hawaii).
 
Must Do: Visit Kilauea after dark and watch the lava make its way down the slope to the ocean.  You can either go to the park and hike to a good vantage point or take your car to the turn around point on Hy 130.
