deirdreMiles driven: 739
Volcanos seen: 5
Lava flows seen: 1
Lava tubes walked through: 1
Brimstone hair days: 1
Vog emissions seen: 1 major, several minor
Maximum elevation: 6632 feet (Saddle road)
Minimum elevation: -108 feet (submarine)
One-lane roads driven on: 6
One-lane unpaved roads driven on: 2

Mong(ooses|eese) seen: 4
Green turtles seen: 1
Hawaiian boars petted: 2
Tallest trees seen: I don't know, but they were huge.
Tallest waterfall seen: 442 feet (sadly, it was too dark to get a good photo)
Heiaus (temples) visited: Several on two different sites, Pu'uhonua o Honaunau and Pu'ukohala Heiau. The fact that there were multiple heiaus on the same site raises questions I will read more about.
I'm thankful I finally got the time and opportunity to study more about the culture and context of one of America's native peoples. No matter how much you read, it's easier to understand in location.
