I've been to Hawaii a few times, I really like staying at local places. John and his mother are very hospitable, and want to be sure your taken care of. We drove to Haleakalā the second day we were there, great trip, I highly recommend doing in the evening, not the AM sunrise trip. You can hike during the day 65 degrees, then watch stars after the amazing sunset 45 degrees! Close to the Airport and Costco. I will go back!
