Another vote for the Southern Route. Pahala, Naalehu (sp?), South Point, the Kau Desert, Driving past the plume, the glorious weather, the little stores, the vegetable stand below Honaunau, the macadamia trees, the langorous pace......it's the only way to go unless you are in a breathless hurry. I make an excuse to drive that way when I am on island. Usually my excuse is I must go to Honaunau.
