By all means do the Big Island, which it looks as though you have decided to do. Be sure to spend as much time as you can in Volcanoes National Park. It is quite easy to see from the car with only short walks (or longer if you want) to various sites that really cannot be seen anywhere else. If possible spend the night in the park at Volcano House, or if anyone in your group is active or retired military you can stay at Kilauea Military Camp which has great cabins, restaurant, etc. We took my Mom to the Big Island a couple of years ago when she was 77 (and not in the greatest of health) and we were able to tour a large part of the island by car with absolute enjoyment for her.
