The two major towns are Hilo on the right and Kailua-Kona on the left. Both have their own airport however for the event we suggest flying into Kona as the drive across the island is about 2 hours, Pele and weather permitting.
The Big Island, for those who've never been, is much more relaxed and far less touristy than Maui or O'ahu and the famous Waikiki beach. It is also the only island where in one day you can go from a rainforest, to snow, to a desert as well as being the volcanic home of Pele, goddess of fire. More on that and other fun things to do and see on a later post.
But for now you're going to Kona, it's almost always around 78 degrees and there are beaches so pack accordingly!
