My Sister Leane's Visit
| Thursday, October 19, 2006 |
Day 1, Airport to Hot Pond
| Robin and I met Leane at the Hilo Airport at 1:00 on Thursday. Leane was pretty burnt out, having flown from China to Honolulu, then spending 3 hours at Honolulu Airport waiting for her flight to Hilo. There was really only one thing to do with her and that was to take her to the Hot Pond to soak. We soaked for a couple of hours then brought her home where she could get a shower and a change of clothes. Then we went out to eat, brought her home, and put her to bed. CLICK IMAGES TO ENLARGE |

Day 2, Kilauea, Hookena Beach, Ray's House
| April 9; page 30, July 8) for breakfast. The crater was completely fogged in and you couldn't see a thing but we enjoyed our buffet breakfast and then took Crater Rim Drive around to the Jagger Museum. While we were there, the fog blew away and we had an excellent view of Halema'uma'u Crater. We drove around to the viewing point, then proceeded on to the Kilauea Iki Crater. After that, we headed over to the Ho'okena Beach Park where Ray and Ellen and family and mutual friends were having a barbecue. |

| This is a look at where I hiked on October 9 (pages 40-41). On the left is the ridge of rocks where I turned from the Byron Ledge Trail to the Halema'uma'u Trail. You can also see Volcano House on the ridge. I came down the ridge in the right photograph, just to the left of the landslide area and right of the cinder cone. |
