I couldn't understand why she advised potential visitors to avoid renting in HPP due to smoke. Her profile lists her location as Hilo, over 20 miles from HPP.
I live in Paradise Park near the ocean and have had no problem with smoke. In fact, the two times I noticed it I thought a neighbor was using their fireplace, a common occurrence down here this time of year. Then I realized it had a slightly sweet scent almost like the fragrance of new mown hay, and that it was probably from the lava fires. I found it not only subtle, but pleasant. Hopefully she will revise her comments to provide accurate information, directly from a resident of the area in question.
