Hilo
18 Ocak 2017, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C
We arrived the evening of January 18. We first landed in Honolulu after about nine hours nonstop from Atlanta. Carole was feeling motion sick, so she was less than excited about hopping on another plane to Hilo, but we made it safely without losing her lunch and checked into our Air BnB. Mike took a couple pics of the airport as its the first airport we'd seen that was almost completely outdoors.Okumaya devam et

The morning of our first day we took a drive through the Puna district of the Big Island. Its a more remote, relatively untraveled area with a lot of beautiful scenery. We saw a hot spring pond and a lot of beautiful coastline.Okumaya devam et

Rainbow Falls
19 Ocak 2017, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C
We booked a tour with Arnott's Lodge to drive up to the summit of Mauna Kea. The first stop was Rainbow Falls. As you can see, the falls were beautiful and the banyan tree was the biggest banyan we'd ever seen. We had a mother and daughter and another couple on the tour with us and they had all seen Rainbow Falls already so we hopped out and did a quick tour before heading back to the van.Okumaya devam et

Mauna Kea visitor center
19 Ocak 2017, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C
On the way up to the summit of Mauna Kea we had to stop at the visitor center to slowly acclimate to the elevation before going to the summit. Saw some interesting silversword plants there and watched part of a film about Mauna Kea and all the telescopes on the summit. Researchers from all over the world use about a dozen or so telescopes and there may be another soon.Okumaya devam et

Mauna Kea summit
19 Ocak 2017, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ⛅ 9 °C
We drove up the winding road to the summit and waited for the sun to set at the top of Mauna Kea. About a dozen massive telescopes line the summit as the location, atmosphere and elevation make it a perfect spot for seeing most of the visible stars from our planet. It was more than a little bit chilly up there.Okumaya devam et

These are more pics at the summit...incredible sunset view above the clouds...we could also see the mountain on Maui in the distance. The coats we're wearing were provided by the tour company and we definitely needed them. As the sun disappeared we headed back down to the Visitors Center where our tour guide took us to a dark spot and pointed out about a dozen different constellations, planets, stars, etc. Way too many to count.Okumaya devam et

Hawaii Volcanoes National Park
20 Ocak 2017, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C
On Friday, we got up early and headed for Volcano National Park. We got there before the visitor center opened so we headed to the lava tube first. A short walk from the Visitors Center there were steam vents everywhere. Ground water seeps down to the hot volcanic rocks in this area and returns to the surface as steam.

We also saw the Sulphur banks nearby where volcanic gases seep out of the ground along with groundwater steam. These gases are rich in carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide and hydrogen sulfide -the gas that smells like rotten eggs. Some sulfur gases deposit pure crystals at Sulphur Banks.Okumaya devam et

Jaggar museum and observatory
20 Ocak 2017, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C
Kīlauea is a currently active shield volcano, and the most active of the five volcanoes that together form the island of Hawaiʻi. It is the clearly the highlight of Volcano National Park and Jaggar Museum's overlook provides the best view of the Kilauea volcano. This is where we could see the lava bubbling up out of the volcano. Definitely a highlight of the trip.

We actually saw the guy that wore the clothes displayed here...he apparently is one of only two people known to have fallen into a lava stream and survived.Okumaya devam et

Chain of Craters Road is a 19-mile/30-km winding paved road through the East Rift and coastal area of the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. We saw lava for miles and miles along this road. A long stretch of this road near the coast is now shut down because of continuous lava flow. The pics are of various points on the road where lava has flowed at different times over the past century or so.Okumaya devam et

We ate a quick lunch and enjoyed the view here. It wasn't the best $8 turkey hoagie I've ever had, but at least there was a view and the sun came out for us.

After a long drive we made it down to the Pacific Ocean to see this arch created by the erosion of the waves against the lava. Carole was breaking the rules again when posing for this picture, but it made for a good shot. It was obviously a beautiful day.Okumaya devam et

Pu'u Loa Petroglyphs
20 Ocak 2017, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ☁️ 25 °C
We hiked about a mile and a half round trip for some carvings in the lava stone...not the best use of time in my opinion, but we didn't realize how lame it was till we got there. I suppose if you know more about what they meant it would be far more interesting. The Park website says there are over 23,000 petroglyphs there.

Further on, the road was closed to further car traffic. It would've been a 10 mile hike to get to the lava flowing across the road and into the Pacific. We didn't have time for such a long hike so this pic of the steam rising in the distance is the best we got.Okumaya devam et

These pics are from the Kilauea overlook, Volcano House, Kilauea Iki Crater, Lua Manu crater and the Puhimau crater. On the way back to Hilo for a flight to Honolulu we stopped by the little nearby town of Volcano and went to the Volcano winery for a little wine tasting. Picked up a bottle of Volcano Red to bring home with us.Okumaya devam et

Condo view and Diamond Head Crater Hike
21 Ocak 2017, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ 🌧 21 °C
Friday night we flew to Honolulu from Hilo and it was a bit of an adventure to find our air bnb condo. We eventually did and it was a nice spot on the 28th floor overlooking Waikiki (see pic). The next morning we got up early and headed to Diamond Head hoping to beat the crowds. Unfortunately, we didn't beat the rain and wind; or the crowds actually. I can't imagine how crowded that place must be on a nice day.Okumaya devam et

Diamond Head Crater Hike
21 Ocak 2017, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ 🌧 21 °C
The hike up the crater was pretty steep at times, and the footing was terrible. We saw a lot of joggers running up and down which we thought was nuts given the poor footing and how narrow the pathway was at times. Anyway, the view of the Pacific and of Honolulu once we got to the top was spectacular as you can see.Okumaya devam et

Before the trip, one of Carole's musts was to go to a luau. This place was recommended and the food and entertainment did not disappoint. The luau and the show afterward were very impressive.

22 Ocak 2017, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C
All kinds of beautiful views along the coast here, but the highlight was the Halona Blowhole. Apparently, on some days, there isn't much to see there, but this was a very windy day with heavy surf so the water was spewing up from the blowhole with every wave. Took some good videos. We got takeout that night at a Hawaiian seafood place. Lobster, crab, crawfish and shrimp. Had to work to get the food, which Mike did not care for; and it was a mess, which Carole did not care for, but we look like we had fun, right?Okumaya devam et

23 Ocak 2017, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C
On Monday morning Carole was back at her conference and Mike headed to the Bishop Museum which was a really interesting look at Hawaii's history. Some fascinating exhibits told the story of how Hawaii was united under King Kamehameha, and how it eventually became a US territory and state. The cape and helmet below are what Kalaniʻōpuʻu, the king of Hawaii island at the time, placed on Capt. James Cook as a gesture of good will when he arrived at the island. Like many other European explorers to new lands, they thought he was a god.Okumaya devam et

23 Ocak 2017, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C
On Monday afternoon, we headed to Hanauma Bay for some snorkeling. Carole, of course, had her own snorkel and mask and Mike had to rent one. It was a little chilly, but we saw some amazing fish. Mike even saw a couple of sea turtles after Carole got too cold and headed back to the beach. The last pic is from the pool area in our condo building. We had Helena's Hawaiian food that night. We both thought it was a bit overrated.Okumaya devam et

Pearl Harbor USS Arizona Memorial
24 Ocak 2017, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ 🌧 23 °C
Mike got online and bought tickets early the previous day so that we could go see the USS Arizona memorial. We just about missed our tour because it was almost impossible to find parking, but we made it. The memorial was amazing. It is built right above where the old ship lays and you can see the oil still bubbling up from the ship 75 years after she was sunk. A sobering thought to know that the bodies of hundreds of American sailors are still there in the sunken ship below, having paid the ultimate price for our country.Okumaya devam et
