Since I have been to the other Hawaiian islands and had the wonderful opportunity to experience your typical Hawaii excursions (horse-back riding, snorkeling, helicopter ride, luau, whale watching, and surfing), I wanted this trip to be focused on hiking and other unique things you can not do on the other islands.
To begin my journey, my friends invited me for an all girls trip to San Diego, La Jolla, and Palm Springs (blog post to come). Instead of heading back home to Florida after this California trip, I found a great deal on a plane ticket to one of my bucket list destinations, the Big Island. So, I booked the flight and I started researching unique things to do while I was there.
