My drive today takes me from one season into another. I start the day in the endless summer that is Kailua-Kona-temperature a perfect, breezy 80 degrees F, but by afternoon I'm in the eternal 55-degree autumn of volcano country. Only in Hawaii. Break for the Coffee Belt I go from Kona to volcano country on Highway 11 or 180 via the Kona Coffee Belt, home of the famed, expensive bean. It's a world in miniature-tiny shops and houses tilting over the edge of lush green slopes with views of the misty blue Pacific 1,500 feet below. Make sure Driver Guy keeps his eye on the narrow, winding road as it passes through the scenic coffee villages of Holualoa, Honalo, Kainaliu, Kealakekua and Captain Cook. In the village of Holualoa, I always park in front of the rickety Kona Inn Hotel and run in to use its novel men's room. The restrooms are perched on a green cliff, with open-air views of the Pacific. Guaranteed your guy will get a huge kick out of this one. Treat this part of the drive as a coffee-tasting experience. Greenwell Farms, family-owned since 1873, lets you tour its orchards, which are white as snow in the spring when the first coffee blossoms pop out. Be sure to take home a pound or two of beans. They make a cup of joe that's wonderfully rich and strong-and redolent of the Big Island. Entering cattle country Volcano country a-waits, so head south on Highway 11. Road signs indicate the dates of the volcanic eruptions (1950, 1919, 1907) that sent lava bubbling down the slopes from the 13,680-foot Mauna Loa, which looms in the clouds somewhere above you. You'll pass in and out of thickets of eucalyptus. The smell of ripening mangoes makes the air seem-and almost taste-sticky sweet. (I always carry a plastic bag and a pocket knife on Hawaii drives. You never know when you might want to stop and pluck something tasty off a tree.) Just beyond Milolii, a quaint fishing village, follow a sign to South Point. Now you'll rumble through hot, arid cattle country. At South Point, you'll stand on a sheer and lonely bluff above the misty Pacific, the southernmost point in the U.S., the spot where the Polynesians, up from the South Pacific in outrigger canoes, first landed on these shores a thousand years ago. The first time I saw this killer view I vowed to myself, "You won't come back here alone." And I was right. When I next returned some years later, I brought my wife, who loved the whole area. However, she reminded me that she wasn't too keen on heights. We drove a short distance through the sagebrush and mesquite wilds to another end-of-the-world bay. Here she felt a little better. We gazed at some giant logs that lined the shore like lawn furniture, which had drifted all the way here from the Pacific Northwest. And you know, one made a perfect backrest for two. Hitting Hawaii Volcanoes National Park Now get set for the big climate change. You pass from summer to fall as you drive the last miles to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. The park, 340 square miles, is all rain forest, dripping ferns and steaming fissures. Take the Crater Rim Drive, an 11-mile loop of the vast Kilauea caldera, at the center of which lies the always-steaming Halemaumau fire pit. The road dips through fern jungles, lava desert and plumes of sulphurous smoke. It's enough to give you the shivers. So warm your bones in the Volcano House, a venerable inn with tall windows looking onto the steaming caldera. The inn has a big lava-stone fireplace where a log fire has burned nonstop for 60-plus years-yes, they actually keep it stoked night and day. You can sit by the fireplace and take a nap (no one will disturb you). For dinner try Surt's, a cool cafe in the old Volcano Store. Then point the car downhill toward summer.

Hanauma Bay, Maka Puu, KimoZ The next day Darrell and I struck out on our own to do some things that weren't of interest to my in-laws. First was snorkeling at Hanauma Bay then on to Makapuu , the first of two lighthouses we visited on Oahu. Lunch at KimoZ in Waimanalo and a quick stop at the Halona blow hole, then back home. Pali Lookout, Byodo-In Temple, Polynesian Cultural Center The following day we took the Pali Highway to the Nuuanu Pali Lookout for a spectacular view of the island. The next stop was the Byodo-In Buddhist temple , a beautiful replica of a 900 year old temple in Japan. We arrived at our main destination, the Polynesian Cultural Center , promptly at noon when it opened and had a great day, filled with the colors and sounds of Polynesia. Waikiki Aquarium, Foster Botanical Gardens Just one day left on Oahu before leaving for the Kona Coast. Darrell and I walked to the Waikiki Aquarium to see the fish and exhibits and then took the bus to the Foster Botanical Gardens . What a peaceful place, with gorgeous flowers, trees and other plants. Then we went back to the hotel for the dinner buffet and Hawaiian show later that night. Diamond Head Lighthouse The next morning we took a quick drive to the Diamond Head lighthouse for a last minute photo opportunity before boarding the plane that took us to the big island of Hawaii.
