Not actually adding this to my vanity plates collection -- I only shot it in the local HyVee grocery store parking lot 'cause it's odd to see a Hawaii plate in Nebraska.
Kalapana Black Sand Park
The Kalapana Lava Viewing Area in the Puna District on Hawaii's Big Island is where one can see the lava flows of Kilauea volcano punching into the Pacific Ocean. It is about an hour drive from the town of Hilo, and a 20 minute hike from the end of Highway 130.
In 1990, lava from Kilauea volcano engulfed Kalapana, a historic Hawaiian fishing village and residential area, and the black sand beach at Kaimu.

Built between 1911 and 1913, this Classical Revival-style building was designed by Henry D. Whitfield to house the main branch of the Library of Hawaii. Funded by a grant from Andrew Carnegie, the library originally consisted of only the front wing, and features a green tile hipped roof with eaves featuring decorative panels, twelve-over-twelve double-hung windows on the first floor and eight-over-eight windows on the second floor, doric pilasters framing many of the window bays in the central portions of the side and rear facades and the end bays of the front facade, a two-story front portico with doric columns and three large arched window and door openings, which allow light and access into the main foyer, which is a double-height space topped with a large skylight, and decorative corbels above the first floor window and door openings on the front facade. The building was expanded to the rear by C. W. Dickey between 1927 and 1930 to meet the growing space requirements of the library, which added a rear wing and a central courtyard to the complex, with the rear wing featuring fixed steel pivot windows, a departure from the double-hung windows utilized on the original building, but otherwise matches the original building on the exterior. The courtyard features a double-decker loggia at the face of the rear addition, with a row of french doors providing access from the original building, flanked by stone doric pilasters. In 1990-1992, the library saw another addition onto the rear of the building, which matches the 1913 and 1930 sections of the building, and features three large arched windows in the center of the rear facade, echoing the front entrance of the original building, with additional renovations being carried out at this time that modernized the facility to make it more safe, accessible, and functional. The building serves as the flagship main branch of the Library of Hawaii, a statewide system that serves the populations of all the counties and islands of the state. The building is a contributing structure in the Hawaii Capital Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
The Hāna Highway is a 68-mile (109 km) long stretch of Hawaii State Routes 36 and 360 which connects Kahului with the town of Hāna in east Maui. On the east after Kalepa bridge, Hana Highway continues to Kīpahulu as Route 31 (Piilani Highway), the first section of which is unofficially considered to be part of Hāna Highway. Although Hāna is only about 52 miles (84 km) from Kahului, it takes about 2.5 hours to drive when no stops are made as the highway is very winding and narrow and passes over 59 bridges, 46 of which are only one lane wide. There are approximately 620 curves along Route 360 from just east of Kahului to Hāna, virtually all of it through lush, tropical rainforest. Many of the concrete and steel bridges date back to 1910 and all but one are still in use. That one bridge, badly damaged by erosion, has been replaced by a parallel structure by a portable steel ACROW bridge erected by the United States Army Corps of Engineers.
In August 2000 it was designated as the "Hana Millennium Legacy Trail" by President Bill Clinton, with the trail start designated in Pāʻia. The Hāna Highway is listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 15, 2001.
The Hāna Highway is a popular tourist attraction in Maui. Guidebooks often devote large sections to traveling the highway leading to the eastern side of Maui and document the many waterfalls and attractions that can be found along the way.
At the end of the Hāna Highway (actually past Hāna in a clockwise direction around eastern Maui) is the ʻOheʻo Gulch, also known as the "Seven Sacred Pools". This series of waterfalls and pools is located inside the Haleakala National Park.

I believe this is from Crater Rim Drive, the first look at the caldera from Kilauea volcano - www.hawaii.volcanoes.national-park.com/map.htm (another photo inside).
It has been very dry in Maui and there were fires on the first day we arrived causing us to have to evacuate our rented house and move to a condo for a night.
Hawaii Route 61, often called the Pali Highway, is the main highway connecting downtown Honolulu, Hawaii with the windward side of Oʻahu island. From downtown, it traverses up Nuʻuanu Valley and the residential neighborhood of Nuʻuanu, passes through the Nuʻuanu Pali Tunnels, and descends to the major windward communities of Kāneʻohe (reached by Kamehameha Highway, State Route 83) and Kailua.
