When you think of Hawaii, you think of waterfalls. If you are cheap then you may choose the land version rather than the helicopter option. Jennifer, Mia and Debbie chose the land version.
They began the trip with a visit to the Hawaiian Cafe as it was going to be a long day. The first stop was at Akaka Falls Lookout. It is one of the best known waterfalls on the island. It is sort in the middle of no where so it is difficult to figure out where all the water flow is generated.
They next stop was Laupahoehoe Park. This park has a sad history where a tsunami wave struck a school on April 1, 1946. The park is a memorial and not heavily used. The sad history continues as, we found people displaced by the volcano camping on this beach.
The next day our happy group flew home.
Now that Mia has some vacation experience, she is planning on taking her grandparents to Oregon to visit Lindsey Leigh.
