Hello everyone I just got back from the Big Island of Hawaii three weeks ago. I went with my friend Sean and his parents. They are from Boston and are living down the street from us. We went for 8 days and had a blast!!! We stayed at the Fairmont Orchid on the West side of the island on the Kohala Coast. We drove around the whole island in one day! The west side is very dry and volcanic but the East side is all lush grass and rainforest's. We went to the volcano park where we saw a active volcano. We also stopped in Kona a small hip town on the West side. We went deep sea fishing, snorkeling, surfing, swimming, had amazing food and used a four seat outrigger canoe which was awesome. So that's my trip see the pictures below:)
