hilo: Obama, Tree Frogs and Akaka Waterfalls of Hilo, Hawaii - 12/27/10 04:20 AM

While I love the sounds of nature as much as the next guy, after spending a few nights sleeping next to the ocean in Hilo, Hawaii, I can understand why some of the natives would like to eradicate tree frogs. These tiny little guys never shut up. Especially when it's raining, they yakkety-yak all night long, sending out a mating call. Hey, there doesn't need to be MORE of them. I want to scream: No sex for you! Like a tree frog nazi.

It's about a 15-minute trip from our bed and breakfast into Hilo, which is our closest … (7 comments)

hilo: Jackie Paper at Honolii Paka Beach, Hawaii - 12/26/10 03:45 PM

If I were 30 years younger, I could spend every day at this beach. What looks like a one-way road is actually two-lane access to the beach. It's a Peter, Paul and Mary kind of beach.

The streak of red that you see is a red hot lava flow. Yeah, some volcanoes on the Big Island are active. If you look very closely, you can see faces in the lava. Lava comes in many colors, from gray like this photo, to reddish brown and … (17 comments)

hilo: Rainbow Falls to Mauna Kea to Waipio Valley on the Big Island - 12/24/10 06:12 AM

When I was born, Hawaii was not yet a state. I was in first grade when Alaska became a state, followed 7 months later by Hawaii. It was the coolest thing ever, two new stars added to our flag! I thought that every year we would add new states, as I was way too young to understand how long it had been since any state was added to the Union. Before Alaska, Arizona was the last state, and Arizona joined the union on Valentine's Day in 1912. That means in the last 100 years, give or take, we've added only … (15 comments)
