On this trip, Barbara and I flew from San Francisco to Hilo, Hawaii. We rented a car, and drove around the island. Next, we swapped the regular car for a Ford F150 Truck as 4WD is required to get to the top on Mauna Kea. The truck was a bit of overkill, but we did use the 4WD to get to a remote wildlife refuge and to get to the peak of the island.
