A Leap of Faith (Part 2)

Chapter 214 - Volcanoes!

It is now the following day, and currently the family are all preparing for their trip to the other islands to go see all the volcanoes. From what Kaelea has told Lena, today will involve them all going on a guided tour, which means they will be hiking up a few of the volcanoes, although thankfully they will actually get driven between them, and at least part way up a few of the volcanoes. However, knowing all that, Lena is well aware that as they will be doing a lot of walking, and hiking, today, it means that they all will have to dress in appropriate footwear, while also keeping in mind their clothing choice, as the top (relatively) of a few of the volcanoes will actually get rather cold, with there even being the potential of some snow. Obviously, this has led to the logistical problem of them not being able to dress for cold weather, seeing as everywhere in Hawaii it is rather hot and warm, which will also be the case for most of their hike up the volcanoes. However, on the flip side of things, Lena knows that they will need some cold weather clothing if the temperature does drop low enough as they get close to the top of the volcanoes. The last thing Lena and Kara want is for Alura and Morgan to get ill from the cold weather or anything. Thankfully though, seeing as Kara is a Kryptonian, Lena has decided that the solution is for them all to dress in warm weather clothes, and then just pack some coats and other cold weather gear into a backpack, which Kara will be carrying. This does, of course, mean that the back pack ends up being a tad heavy, but that is absolutely nothing to Kara.

"Alright, I think we have everything." Lena says, with a smile.

"Yeah, we do." Kara nods.

"The car is waiting for us outside." Eliza says, walking back in the villa from having just walked out the front to check if their car which will take them to the airport is there.

"Alright." Lena nods, and then turns to Morgan and Alura, "Have you two girls got everything?"

"Yeah." Alura says.

"I think so." Morgan replies.

"Good. Let's go." Lena smiles.

The group all then leave the villa, and each get into the awaiting car, which takes them to the airport. Then, once they get to the airport, they all board Lena's private jet, and quickly take off, heading to the 'Big Island', which has most of the major volcanoes on it. As they were taking off though, Kara and Lena, for the first time, watched how excited Morgan was by the whole take off process, which put big smiles on both Kara and Lena's faces.

********************

About an hour after leaving their villa, the family finally touch down on the 'Big Island' in Hawaii, which contains some of the entire world's largest active volcanoes. Of course, due to the fact that these volcanoes are so famous, they are another Hawaii tourist trap, but thankfully Kaelea has been able to arrange for the family to have a private tour of the volcanoes, just like she did by arranging for Kara and Lena to have a private helicopter tour of all the Jurassic Park film locations the previous week. However, unlike the helicopter tour, the tour of the volcanoes does not begin at the airport that the family have flown into, so they all have to get into an awaiting car, which will take them to the start location, closer to the base of the volcanoes.

"Momma?" Morgan asks, as the group all sit in the car together.

"Yes, darling?" Lena replies.

"The volcanoes we are going to see..... they..... they aren't going to explode, are they?" Morgan asks, in a slightly nervous voice.

"No, darling." Lena says, "Usually with volcanoes, with modern technologies, scientists are able to detect when a volcano is about to erupt. Then, at the same time, I doubt we are going to get anywhere too close to the tops of the volcanoes themselves, so we will be perfectly safe."
