The Adventures of Sunsette -- Nova Scotia again, May 6

[davidd]

I wanna go back to my little grass shack in Kealakekua Hawai'i.... So you didn't swim across the bay to see the Cook monument up close? At least you saw it from far away. That's a spot I never managed to visit on the Big Island.

So that's the Saddle Road, now, huh? Not so very long ago, the Saddle Road was considered so rough, winding, and dangerous that rental car agencies recommended against taking that route, and they would not send assistance if you had a breakdown.

Twenty days and a helicopter tour? Wow! Fun! You pulled out all the stops on this trip!

"We ended up finishing the drive in the dark in a downpour all the same."     Because... Hilo side!  (Note for anyone planning a trip to Hawaii: it always rains in Hilo!)

This was a fun Big Island travelog! I'll be looking forward to seeing where the girls and mum go... or went... next!
