It was our first trip to any of the Hawaiian Islands, and we loved every minute of it. We were discussing our next trip to the islands before we boarded our flight home! We were fairly settled on Maui next time, but now you have me thinking maybe we should consider the Island of Hawaii!<br />My memories are still fresh, but reading your post made me want to go look at our pictures again!T.

But you're right--it's not easy to drive to it! <br /><br />We noticed from our first visit to Maui to our most recent, there was a huge increase in the traffic. The same is true along the Kona coast near Kailua-Kona. We have to make sure we build an extra hour into any travel down that way because it's so bad. And it can be expensive, but it's more reasonable if you stay away from the touristy places, like resort grocery stores, etc. Amy M.

The park rangers are very careful to keep people at a safe distance from the flowing lava. The pictures you see on the news about people who are very close to the lava are people who've gone rogue and ignored the rules. Amy M.
