and just a nitpicky photo thing; focus on specific areas with your camera, and then try and take multiple shots (enable burst/rapid shooting, or HDR where it will take mutliple shots with 1-2 finger presses). when taking photos in low light setting, the camera is more sensitive to shaking (especially when pressing the button to actually take photos), so if you take multiples, there's a higher likelihood of getting a non-blurry shot. memory is free, it's not like you're wasting film!
finally, have fun on the big island!
Thanks for commenting. I forgot to mention that we would also get a free hotel room each in SFO. Unfortunately, we had to get to ITO the next day for a heli tour. Air Force One was there, and a couple of HA 712s but nothing else. Report coming soon.
And about the photos, I'm actually using a smartphone camera (1st gen Moto X) and I'm surprised that they turned out this well, see my first report and you'll understand.
