Eve and Morning at Mauna Kea

Ultiamtely I have to rush bc of the conference but I'd like to get a good sampling of what's out there.
You might prefer the circumnavigation approach:

-- Fly into ITO

-- Drive to Wapio or Honopaa.
Explore Wapio Valley and spend the night.
I stayed here once: http://www.cliffhousehawaii.com/index.html
There are other places to stay nearby.

--Morning drive to Mauna Kea
Stop in Kamuela (aka Waimea) for lunch.
Visit Parker Ranch if that's your thing.

--Drive to/near VNP where you'll spend the night
Enjoy the volcano.

--Head back to ITO
