Big Island Checklist

A trip is long overdo. I've worked straight through the summer, with only my two day weekends to ease the monotone of stitching away the hours and a break the silence that is the costume shop. School has been out. Morgan, my co-worker away. The silence is opressive. Thankfully Morgan's back and I'm chipping away at the last of the list for the fall tour. Soon, soon I will have a mini vacation. Prices prevent any jaunts mainland...but what of the puddle jumpers between islands?

So Big Island it is. For probably 5 days and 4 nights in late October, after our third show opens and before the Christmas show gets too far underway.

The list of possibilities thus far:

Circle Island tour through one of the bus lines
Kona Coffee Tasting
Volcano National Park
Tour the Kona Brewery
Snorkeling in Kona with the manta rays
Visit a Seahorse Farm
View Rainbow falls near Hilo
Visit Akaka Falls near Honomu
Antiquing in Honomu
Hilo Waterfall and Lava Cruises
Hike under Kapoloa Falls
watch the lava flow into the ocean
visit a natural hot spring
sun on a black sand beach
wander around Hilo
explore Kona

And perhaps if one's really ambitious....

Stand at the top of Mauna Kea

That's a lot of options for 5 days...

A seahorse farm? that sounds really cool...what do they breed seahorses for, collectors? What a random Hawai'ian thing to do! That sounds like it'd be a unusual but totally fun thing to do...like touring a candy factory.

Don't forget to look up some of the theatre! And be sure to send me some black sand beach. I love that you're taking a Hawai'ian vacation from Hawaii. :)
