Question: I'm interested in the best way to travel to see the lava flows? We would fly out of Seattle.
1) Is it best to fly to Honolulu and then drive, or continue on to a different flight destination? (If it's more than a three hour drive from Honolulu, I'd prefer to fly if that's an option.)
2) Also, in what town near the lava flows would we stay overnight?

We received the following question by email:
My wife and I will be visiting the Big Island in the end of July/early August. We plan on hiking around Volcano a bit and the Mauna Kea summit. I am trying to plan ahead and purchase things a bit at a time. I keep reading that in these places, a "light" rain jacket is needed. For me, a "light" jacket is not lined (generally with fleece). So...if we go to these places, will we need a LINED rain jacket, or un UNLINED rain jacket? Thank you.

Hello there,
My fiance and I will be in Hawaii (Hilton Waikoloa Village) Nov 13th-20th and would like to get married while we are there. It would be a very small, intimate ceremony only with 5 people (including us). Do you have any suggestions for a beach or park point that we should check out? Are there any licenses or fees other than the marriage license and officiant fees?

On August 3, just after 2:00 p.m., Hawaiian Standard Time, the floor of the long-erupting Pu`u `O`o crater collapsed and lava began erupting from new vents on the west flank of Pu`u `O`o cone, sending flows towards the north and south of the cone. Since that time, lava has continued to erupt from these west-flank vents, but the active lava has retreated closer to the vent area and is largely contained within a perched lava pond. A very small amount of lava has returned to the collapsed floor of Pu`u `O`o over the past week.

Would a "side trip" to Kauai for 3 days be worth it or would you suggest we went there for a longer stay the next time we come through?

We received this question by email:
We are planning a trip to the big island, but cannot find which side is the most touristy. Is it the Hilo side or the Kailua side? should we just arrive and play it by ear? i.e hire a car and find accommodations?
