• Hawaii Diaries #15 – Volcanoes National Park

    We were up early and eager to head over to Volcanoes National Park. The park and the volcano was the reason we actually came to the Big Island. Originally, the plan was to spend 10 days in Kauai then come to the Big Island to finish our trip.

Having become a shave ice connoisseur/douche, I wanted to give it a go. I definitely…
