First impression as we flew in - desolation! The lava fields create a surreal landscape around the airport and the palm trees surrounding the terminal seemed almost artificially tropical against the backdrop of Madam Pele's outbursts. Outstanding to see and to think we will be riding through this in 10 days' time - an exciting thought.
Coach Dave was at the airport meeting others off the same flight so it was great to see him briefly before we headed to our accommodation with the TriTravel crowd. 
Then it was straight into unpacking the bike and heading out with Dave for a quick ride to shake out the legs and make sure all was in working order.
And it was!
Weather is great - depending on your definition of great... Balmy temperatures - but high humidity! Very glad to have 10 days to get used to this :)
Tomorrow's plan, an early swim then stock up on supplies and then some relaxation. More updates tomorrow.
Aloha.
