We took Flat Stanley to the island of Hawaii to see the sights. In order to get there, we flew on this puddle jumper. There were only 9 passengers (plus Flat Stanley)
One thing we realized about the Big Island is... its big! All of the islands put together are still smaller than the island of Hawaii. It was wonderful how remote and secluded we felt compared to the slightly cramped quarters of Maui.
It was a true Hawaiian winter day- pretty cold and cloudy, but that didn't stop us from showing Stanley the sights!
We just "hung out" in the jungle. Stanley is attempting his best Tarzan impression here.
'Akaka falls has a 420 foot drop. Stanley attempted to fly down to the bottom...
We saved him... (look at that smug grin on his face)
A picture of downtown Hilo.
We show this to you because we were looking at taking an assignment here.
Good thing we ended up in Maui!!
We were told that the town of Hilo has Hawaii's best Mochi. What is Mochi? (don't worry, we didn't know either) It's a goober textured combination of rice jello, black beans, and a strawberry. Hawaii can keep their mochi!!! (and Stanley didn't like it either)
Okay. That's it. Now we're really jealous of Stanley. Getting to try that exotic food, swinging like Tarzan, sweating in the steam, playing on the lava, flying in a plane... Man! Stanley was sure smart when he decided to visit you guys! Oh...and thanks for saving him on that waterfall. What a character he is! Hope he hasn't outstayed his welcome!
