Our first look at the Big Island

Okay, I think I'm prepared to finally start posting about our vacation in Hawaii.

If the trip had been planned for a week later, it wouldn't have happened due to the Coronavirus. If it had been a week earlier, it probably wouldn't have been impacted at all. We ended up traveling on a sort of middle ground, where we missed out on a few things and definitely felt the weight of the pandemic but still had an overall great time.

We arrived late at night, with our surroundings under a cover of blackness. The next morning we took our first walk around to see where we were.

There we three generations of ladies in our party...

... and an Omri boy (and, well, me):

We definitely came across some interesting rocks on this trip.

One thing about being on Hawaii is you can feel the vastness of the Pacific surrounding you. At times it was reassuring to be cut off from the rest of the world. At others, it felt a little claustrophobic.

More to come...
