The kids are on fall break is this week so we are on the big island for a few days! Landed in Hilo at 9am and had a nice (and informative!) drive across the top of the island thanks to the Shaka guided audio tour…with stops at Akaka Falls (484 ft tall), Laupahoehoe Park (site of the tsunami in 1946), Waimea and wild goats (where the paniolos/hawaiian cowboys started cattle farming in the late 1700s), and our first stay of the trip at the Waikoloa Beach Marriott – the water slide and infinity pool are a hit with the kids!
