The Big Island in 9 days

by danmcf - last update: Oct 26, 2002

The sunset on our last night in Hawai'i
Imagine a land that's 900,000 years old to the north and new land being 'born' as you read this;
Imagine a land that contains 10 of the 15 world climatic zones;
Imagine a land that has the tallest mountain on earth (when measured from its base deep below the ocean);
Imagine one of the largest privately held cattle ranches in the US of A;
Now imagine all this, and more, on a land mass no larger than the State of Connecticut -
What you now have pictured in your minds eye is the island of Hawai'i - aka 'The Big Island'.
I hope to refine this vision for you, through the pictures and words of our recent trip to the Big Island.

Pros:"This Island has everything........"
Cons:"....except an exciting nightlife (but who needs that)"
In A Nutshell:"If you have at least a week and a rental car, you'll be ready to do the island right!"

 Big Island Changes. Aloha & ATA Airlines both shut down. Hard Rock may close due to lease increase.
