🇺🇸 72 Hours in Hawaii: Volcanoes, Surf & Aloha Spirit

#summervacay Three days in Hawaii was short but packed with unforgettable memories. Day 1 started on the Big Island, where I hiked around Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park and saw lava fields that looked like another planet. Day 2 was for surf and sunshine in Waikiki, Oahu — I even took a beginner’s lesson and managed to stand up (once!). On the final day, I drove the lush Road to Hana in Maui, stopping at waterfalls, banana bread stands, and cliffside lookouts. Every hour was filled with island flavor — ukulele music, fresh poke bowls, and that warm Aloha spirit I’ll never forget.
