Hawaii - The Big Island - A during travel review from the island

You are a wonder! We are having a great time. Went to the most northern and southern tip of Big Island. Took Saddle Road across the mountains, temp vary from 46 to 78 going across the mountains or volcanos. We each ate 3 Malasadas's, cream, lemon,raspberry, cherry and even one plain. Um......good. Did the circle of fire helicopter ride today. Only four people on the copter great pilot named Ray we actually saw active lava in the volcano and dumping into the ocean. Needed 1-2 more days here. Leave for Oahu tomorrow.  We now have an excuse to return to Big Island. Weather here wet, cool but good for all the driving we have done, great and sunny for copter tour and sat at pool today.  Marriott wonderful.  Will keep u posted.
