Pele is Pissed Off!

Pele got wind of me coming back to the Big Island and she's pissed. This is the first explosion in Halema`uma`u since 1924. No lava plumes, but spewing ash is still impressive. It's also the first time since 1982 that there has been any eruption in the Kilauea caldera.

Visiting the volcano should be interesting. There's toxic fumes and the potential for things to explode. How can I not go?

Going back to the Big Island

It's settled, I'll be back to the Big Island this spring. We'll be there from March 28 to April 3. Not sure what our itinerary will be while we are there, other than getting a tan, swimming the ocean, and generally relaxing. Whatever we do, I'm posting updates here, so sign up, check back, and find out what fun things I'm doing in Hawaii.
