Hawai'i! (aka. the Big Island). We flew into Hilo, which was pretty much the pits. Looked like we walked into a time warp of the 70's. Nothing had been updated, including our hotel.

Ok, not really. Despite the pouring rain, we decided to attempt a hike across the lava fields. We of course got lost (3rd time we have gotten lost on a hike on this trip). Eventually, we reached the 'viewing spot'. And guess what we saw? Squat. It was the total pits. Therefore, I pretend we saw the above.
Today after work, we toured a coffee farm in the rain (apparently it rains 75 inches a yr there). It was neat. Now we're sitting on the porch at this place listening to the rain, sipping a brew and gazing down at the ocean. I can't complain.
