The last time we visited the Hawaiian Islands was 1991. That time, Makaha beach on Oahu. Noriko has long wanted to see Big Island. It is our destination this time. Hawaii was not as expected. It rained a lot and stayed cool. We did not go into the water even once. | |||
|
Almost as soon as my plane from Seattle touched down I was back up, for an overflight of the crater by helicopter.

I thought we would have to try harder, drive further to see sea turtles.
But they are common, fairly abundant. | ||
