Hi all! Going to the big island in about a month and have been doing a lot of research and planning. We were planning on going to Mauna Kea to just the visitors center for sunset and star gazing. It eats up more than half a day and I am seeing some people say that it’s one of the most amazing experiences and then some people saying that you can stargaze and see the sunset basically anywhere on the island and it’s almost as good.

Looking for more opinions if it’s worth 3 hours of driving round trip from Kona and then the ~ 1.5-2 hours of sunset & waiting for it to get dark.

Not interested in a tour as they seem to have a lot of extras included that we’re not interested in. Also going to the top doesn’t seem to be worth the hassle and all the extra time

I do like star gazing and a beautiful sunset as much as any other person but just want some feedback if it’s worth the hike or we should just watch the sunset and star gaze on the beach near Kona. Any insight is appreciated! Thanks in advance

Having a rough morning after nightmares last night. They don’t happen super often but when they do it’s hard to shake them. I dreamt that my abuser was at the same social event and of course was making me looking like the crazy one and everyone believed them, including my spouse. I even tried to call the police with my protection order and everyone said that I was being dramatic.
I know I’m safe and I know that won’t happen, in my logical brain. But my body can’t get out of fight or flight

Anyone else experience the same thing?
It’s very very slowly getting better and getting off the couch and out of a ball eventually today will be a win

Basically title. Loved Bagelocity before the incident and stopped patronizing (they might have closed idk I didnt bother to look after everything came out). Saw dad’s deli open up in the same spot and just wanted to make sure it is new owners and I am not supporting a sexual harasser under another name

Any info is appreciate, thanks!

Basically title. My wife are looking in to these and was wondering if any one has been to anyone

Any insight or info is appreciated!
