Big Island:
1. If you can, go see the lava flowing into the sea in the late evening. Just make sure you have flashlights or leave before it gets too dark. It's really stunning to see. Follow the designated path. People have veered off the path and fallen through the crusty top into the mushy underneath... If you know what I mean.
2. Check out the black sand beaches at Punalu'u. It's surreal.
3. Go snorkelling at Ho'okena, Kahaluu and/or Kealakekua. I like Kealakekua...
4. Hike the Donkey Trail.
5. You must go see the Volcanoes National Park.
6. I like eating at the Farmer's Market or the Hilo Lunch Shop. No frills, good local food.
OMG, I'm soooooooooo homesick for Hawai'i right now.
