Interested in volcanology ? Hit The Big Island of Hawaii

Located in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park on the Big Island of Hawaii, The Thomas A. Jaggar Museum is a museum on volcanology with displays of equipment used by scientists in the past to study the volcano, working seismographs, and an exhibit of clothing and gear from scientists who got a bit too close to lava. There is also a gift shop with books, videos, cds, maps, and other special items for sale.

The Museum has large windows which affords a sheltered view of the caldera and main crater, Halema`uma`u, when weather is inclement. The overlook outside the building offers an incredible view of the volcano with interpretive displays about Kilauea, one of the world's most active volcanoes.

The US Geological Survey's Hawaiian Volcano Observatory is adjoining the Jaggar Museum. It is not open to the public.

Mahalo,

Do you speak Hawaiian ?

Don't worry if your heading to Hawaii for a vacation and don't speak Hawaiian. your English will get you by for sure!

Occasionally some signs are in Hawaiian (like for the restrooms) so learning a few Hawaiian phrases is both helpful and fun.


Hawaii’s two official languages are Hawaiian and English. The melodious Hawaiian language is a Polynesian dialect and only has 13 letters. Vowel sounds are generally pronounced as follows:

a	ah, as in "saw"
e	ay, as in "say"
I	ee, as in "see"
o	oh, as in "so"
u	oo, as in "soon"

A few words you should know:

Aloha:

A greeting with love, Hello, Good-bye and more

Hula:

traditional Hawaiian dance

Mahalo:

Thank you

Lei:

A flower garland given for an occasion

Wahine:

Woman

Kane:

Man

Keiki:

Child

‘Ohana:

Family

‘Ono:

Room with a view??

Here is the scenario.You are working closely with your travel agent to plan your upcoming vacation. Location doesn't really matter: Caribbean, Mexico or Hawaii. Then your travel agent asks would you prefer a garden view,  ocean-view, partial ocean-view or oceanfront room? In my visits to numerous hotels and resorts throughout Hawaii, The Caribbean and Mexico over the years I can attest that there really is no standard definition. So it is important that if your view is important consult an agent who has visited that resort.


In generally terms they following is what I go by:

ROH (Run of the House)-whatever you can get....could be oceanfront could be overlooking the garage. Choose only if you do not care

Garden-View- pretty much exactly what it sounds like it is. Usually a good bet if your on a budget or are at a low rise resort with lush landscaping...(Sandals, Couples or Beaches etc)

Partial Ocean View- You can see the ocean or a part of it from either your room or balcony, lanai or terrace


OceanView-  You can see the ocean from your room without stepping outside.

Oceanfront- You can see the ocean as soon as you open the door to ypur room.

As previously mentioned each resort is a bit different so please contact a travel pro for exact specifications at your resort.
