We coudn't help but stop at Hawaii's southern most tip to look over the vastness of the Pacific. It was only then that the utter isolation of the islands really sunk in—it's 3,000km to the nearest continent.

Flying over Kilauea, Hawaii
We took a helicopter trip over the Kilauea Crater (a generous gift from family). Pure awe.
