We got to the LA airport very early. Got our flight to Kona. Easy flight 5 hours. We haven't been to the big island in years, and we never were on the west side of the island. The closest we got was a half-hearted drive from Volcano House toward the west. After about 20 minutes - we gave up. This time. Straight to the west. Most interesting thing this time, the runway at Kona is built up from the rumpled looking lava underneath. It's at least 2 feet above the black lava base. Drove to the Sheraton. Somewhat discouraging that since I've aged a bit, Charlie and I are always offered 1st floor hotel rooms. Do I look THAT old that I can't make it up a flight of stairs? : (. Here's a view from the hotel.
