Hello Judy?
Someone suggested to take a peice of rock from the volcano,,,,,,, DO NOT take a peice of anything from the volcano!!!!!!! I have since learned that it is considered very bad luck to do so, and a friend who comes from Hawiai, told me that from young, they are taught it is disrespectful to do so, and in the entrance of a museum there, there is a glass case full of rocks, stones, even sand, that tourists from all over the world, have posted back to the island! I took some before I knew all this, and my luggage went missing with the rocks in it, my boyfriends luggage arrived safely! I made a promise to reurn the rocks if I could please get my case back, and within the hour, it was located,,,,,,,,,, belive what you will, but my advise is to NOT mess with stuff you don't know about! Mike did tell us in a fun sort of way 'don't wake the sleeping Giant'!!!!!!!!
