The first two days, we almost took it easy. That ends this afternoon. My daughter is not letting us off easy. Today, we have an afternoon-night trek up Mauna Kea for star gazing at the observatory. Later on in the week, we have night time dives to commune with the manta rays, an overnight to say hi to Madame Pele at Kilauea, and about five other things I have since forgotten. Our daughter will be back here next year for her 20th high school class reunion, but who knows when we'll find the time to come back?
