🌺 Aloha from Hawaii! 🌋

If you’re dreaming of an unforgettable island adventure, the Big Island of Hawaii should be at the top of your list! My trip purpose was to visit Hawaii because I needed it to complete all 50 states the second time around! Since 2014, I revisited all 50 states. Home to the incredible Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park, this island offers a rare chance to witness active volcanoes up close. Explore vast lava fields, walk through ancient lava tubes, and marvel at the ever-changing landscape shaped by nature’s power. Don’t miss the stunning views from Mauna Loa and Kīlauea—the world’s most active volcanoes! 🌋🔥 For a full day of exploration, the Big Island Circle Tour is a must. This scenic drive takes you around the island, showcasing a diverse range of landscapes, from lush rainforests and waterfalls to black-sand beaches and charming towns. It’s the perfect way to experience the island’s diverse beauty all in one trip! 🌴🌊 I also took a tour from Kona to the highest point in the state of Hawaii. At nearly 14,000 feet, it’s cold up there. Sure didn’t seem like Hawaii! While you’re in Hawaii, consider adding a visit to the Pearl Harbor Tour on Oahu to your itinerary. This historic site offers a moving tribute to those who served and a deeper understanding of a pivotal moment in history. 🇺🇸⚓ Whether you’re chasing adventure or soaking in culture, Hawaii’s islands have something magical waiting for you.

During the past winter, I took an assignment to write about a frozen lake in West Central Minnesota. My travels took me to Ottertail and Ottertail Lake in Ottertail County! The primary purpose was to write about the snowmobile races on the lake. For the assignment, they provided three nights in Otter Supper Club and Lodge as part of the compensation. Initially, I posted it on Shrpa.com as required for the assignment. I've now completed turning it into a blog post on The Driveby Tourist. Isn't...

Last week, I took a ghost tour on Summit Avenue in St. Paul. No, I didn't get scared! The tour was interesting from both a historical and a paranormal view perspective. If you are in the area, consider taking the tour. The base tour runs about an hour and 15 minutes and you can add an advanced option to see three more haunted locations. Here's the link which covers the base options. https://www.the-driveby-tourist.com/astonishing-ghosts-st-paul/ Thanks, Until next time... Stan
