Kilauea Cruising

Last night, we cruised past Kilauea on our way out of the islands.

It was about 11 PM by the time that we arrived at the mountain and quite thoroughly dark, save for the light of the just past full moon shining on the water and the spots and streams of glowing red-orange lava working its way down the mountainside. There were low clouds, so we couldn't see much of the top of the mountain, but there was plenty of activity down below. It wasn't a photo opportunity, though. Jerry had the best camera of the lot of us and it recommended a 15 second exposure with his lens stopped completely open. Of course, that's not really an option on a cruise ship.

When you're between ports on a cruise ship, there's not a lot that you have to do. We set out today to do just that.

Return to Sender

This was my first real trip to Hawaii (a few cumulative hours spent in the airport lounge at Hickam AFB don't count for much) and, as we head slowly homeward, I'm left to wonder what I might do if I were to come back to Hawaii again.
