Today we took a day trip east, to Mauna Kea, Rainbow Falls in Hilo, and Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.
Volcanoes was wild. One moment we'd be on a moonscape, and then, seemingly without warning, we'd be in a tropical rain forest. The weather up on Kilauea changed on a dime, too, going from cloudy to sunny to drizzly to some combination of all three!

The big Island is great for diversity ... and the lava floes are ... just nuts. I HOPE you're going to Kauai...
Sweet!
