Big Island

After Christmas, we flew to the Big Island of Hawaii. We flew on Delta, and were able to upgrade to first class for only $150 each. It was our first time flying first class, and we really enjoyed it.

We spent some of our time exploring Kona town and swimming in the pool.

We also checked out some beaches. Earlier today we drove north to Waimea, where we could see the Mauna Kea observatory.

Mauna Kea is an inactive volcano, and the highest point on the islands of Hawaii. The active volcano is Mauna Loa, located on the south side of the island.
