Spring Break - Big Island

We've had a very mild winter this year, it barely snowed!  But that doesn't stop us from going on vacation for Spring Break.  This year, we visited the Big Island and then Oahu.  The Big Island was a ton of fun.  

Nothing like an outdoors airport 

After 12 hours, finally checking in 

Marriott Waikoloa 

First night dinner at Sansei.  By now we've been up for 20 hours... everyone was hungry and SILLY.

Day 2 - a beautiful one


Deep sea fishing

Bad pic, there was dolphins


Ready for a catch! 


We had a few bites but didn't catch anything.  It was still a great time!



After a nice break and dinner, we went to see Manta Rays

This is the only place in the world to see Mantas

They are huge (can span up to 6-8 feet) and swim right up to you.

Manta's are very smart and friendly

They are best seen at night during feeding time 

Day 3 - busy day around the island
First stop:  Tropical Botanical Garden 


Some of the most beautiful flowers 



 


Periodic drizzle and sunshine

 



 



 



 

the garden goes right up to the waters 


 



 


You were swinging from the vines

 



 

Rainbow Falls 


Beautiful waterfall

Heading into the Nahuku Volcano Tube

 


Well that was fun!

That's lava!  the little dots are people

Walking down to the lava, now we are the little dots 





Lava looks like poop 


A VERY LONG day 

And that's a wrap - on our way to Oahu!
