- Hitch-hikers are everywhere in Hawaii. I don't know if it's illegal or not, but they are literally everywhere and range from all ages and types of people.
- Hawaiians must eat more than us on the mainland, because as hard as I tried, I was unable to finish any meal served on that island.
- We used an amazing app to find the trailhead to hike down to the Captain Cook Island. Without help from this app - we most definitely would not have found the trail. It is called "Every Trail." Free. Check it out!
- I am stunned by the number of climates that can be found on an island. I looked up all of them and found this great explantation. (I guess I can't have the image of the island on here like I wanted to! Dang copyright laws!)
- I find that a lack of signs makes some areas slow, confusing, or just plain unorganized! For one example of this, read my post from last night, ranting about United. Other incidences were simple not being able to find our destination, or getting scolded from being too close to the sea turtles when the sign was not maintained and you can't see the "Stay 15 feet away" rule.
- It is amazing how anyone has developed land on the west side of the island because it is completely covered in lava rocks. I can't imagine how long it must have taken to build those resorts!
- Hawaii Revealed: The Ultimate Guide Book might be the best resource when driving on the island to stop in unexpected, amazing places! Tips and tricks and suggestions for every part of the big island.
- A Lava Flow is like a piña colada, but add grenadine :)
I might add to this as I think/remember more, but for now I need a nap! Long night of travel. Below find a map of some of the key points we visited! We literally made a full circle around the island in the first 24 hours. Then it was a matter of going back and forth and in between points I and G, repeatedly, along the West Coast. Mahalo for reading!
