Banyan Trees in Hawaii
I just stumbled upon Cindy’s article “Banyan trees in Hawaii protect and inspire” which led me to Wikipeda (Banyan, Banyan Drive). As we will stay in Hilo for almost one week we for sure will drive the Banyan Drive :-)

Silverswords / Hang Gliding from Haleakala
I just read the article “The Silverswords of Haleakala”. When I was in Hawaii in 1997 I saw some of those silverswords - terrific!
