On the second day of our trip Andy had planned a hike in the crater, Kilauea Iki, but we got rained out. We drove down the chain of craters road, hoping for better weather closer to the coast.<\/p>\n

She ate most the shrimps in oour food, and loved the Pad Thai.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
