I still want to snorkel but the comments about Haunama bay have been decidedly mixed, probably more on the overcrowded, not so good side.
On Firday early I will fly to big island early, rent a car and go to VNP. Will stay at volcano house. Will hike a lava field, and try to take in a forest-type hike as well. Maybe find a waterfall?
Saturday evening, I'll fly back to HNL and a couple hours later board my flight back to mainland, work, snow, all that stuff that I'll try not to think of for the seven days I'll be there.
Any last minute comments/suggestions?
Sounds great! Let us know how everything works out--and of course, do not hesitate to get on Flyertalk if any further questions arise (especially when you're out and about around the islands).
