We were so lucky that the clouds parted just enough so we could enjoy the totality eclipse. Simply awesome. The difference between a partial eclipse and total is literally like night and day. What an experience… A highlight of my life!

As craft beer lovers, Mahalo Aleworks is a Maui must-visit. Their beers are fantastic, and enjoying one on their small upstairs balcony is the perfect way to end the day. Just look at the view!

 “Sunset” Big Island, 2024

Today we went on a fantastic trip to the summit of Mauna Kea with Mauna Kea Summit Adventures. It was so good. We were picked up in Kona and driven in a nice new van up to the summit, while the driver (Arthur) told us a ton of interesting facts about the Big Island. At the summit we enjoyed a beautiful sunset, and then returned to the visitor center where our driver set up a telescope and we spent a couple of hours stargazing. It was pretty great! Highly recommended.
