We had an incredible last full day on the Big Island. We got to see the lava fountain into the ocean; watched an active lava flow creep across the island, and walked on lava that had hardened less than 10 minutes earlier. Then we drove some of the incredible coast, and stopped at some amazing waterfalls. We wrapped up our day at Volcano House, and had dinner in the glow of the crater.

Friday was our day to transition from the Big Island to Maui. We didn't have a lot of time to explore, but we saw some cool stuff on the Big Island before the quick flight to Maui. We didn't get up to much on Maui, but got settled in and checked out Lahaina.

We spent some time exploring the nearby town of Hilo and some amazing gardens, before heading out on our evening adventure to the summit of Mauna Kea! Our busiest day by far, on what was turning out to be a not very relaxing vacation.

This will be the first of a number of posts, and will likely take a while to get through. I have lots of photos to get through, and lots of work travel coming up.
