Enjoy Hawaii. Hilo is lovely. If you get a chance to explore the nearby Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, there’s a really unique hike that goes from rain forest to volcano crater floor and then back to rain forest. The contrast is pretty amazing. The hike is called Kilauea Iki. I’ve actually written an article on it, but I don’t want to spam you by linking to it in a comment. If you’re interested, just enter “Kilauea Iki” in the find box at the top right of my blog. The article should come up in the search results.

That is the coolest 3D photo of a cocpit I have ever seen! I am a pilot myself, so I can appreciate what these pilots have to do in order to keep the pointy-end going forward, but if you have a look at the cocpit, and all the switches and dials, then you have to take your hat off to these guys!
Once again, it has been a pleasure to visit BNT and read the stories and articles:)
