Hawai'i

Not a bad flight into Hilo airport, via Honolulu. Seems like I can now easily deal with five hour flights not being able to sleep.

Taxi driver from Hilo airport was interesting and offered me his services as a guide to the island, not that I took him up on the offer. As it was night time when I arrived - you could hear all the frogs singing. Apparently the Cocqui frogs are a really big problem on the island: http://www.thehawaiichannel.com/news/1039588/detail.html

Hotel was the Hilo Hawaiin on Banyan Drive. Banyan Drive is very pretty, lots of Banyan trees obviously! The surrounding gardens are lovely, and Coconut Island is a good place to chill.
