Great photos. Did y’all visit the Rift where one day half of Iceland will be kissing the US but I don’t believe in our lifetime give or take 50,000,000 years.

According to our guide, we did.  I want to research and verify, of course.

 

 

Thanks to all for your kind comments.  I’m glad you are enjoying our trip!

I'm so thankful you were able to get through online. I've been tossing and turning all night. I saw on the news a map of the fires and it was looking too close to Kaanapali. You, David, and all who are caught up in this devastation are in my prayers. I'm heartbroken along with you Denise. Stay safe. God bless.

Debbie, my guess is you saw a small part of the rif.  We've seen it in two areas, so I wouldn't be surprised it there were more places to see it.

That’s what I’m thinking.

There was a separate thread posted offering prayers for Maui and the devastation.  Now it's been removed? 

I don’t understand either.  
 

edited to say.  I just saw it has been moved to the Hawaii forum.   But usually it still shows up with an arrow so you can find it.

Speaking of rifts we've probably all heard the term "International Rift" as a diplomatic expression.  I wonder how many know there's also a very physical rift and it's between the US and Canada, specifically between New York and Canada, specifically at the Thousand Islands Bridge.  People are unlikely to notice it  but in the early 1970's I bicycled from Baltimore to Montreal and crossed the bridge.  The one island on the Canadian side has the Canadian Customs and the other island just a short distance away has the US CPB station.  Here's the rift itself:
