You can fit your body in, and you don’t totally sink in". In its mattress form, my 10-year-old said, “I like that it’s low to the ground, pretty light, and easy to move. Before we even put the cover on, my kids wasted no time hopping on it right away. Rather than shape it into a big and round chair, we essentially just had to break apart the foam into an even, flat shape. I was expecting to put my biceps to work in order to break apart the packed foam for the chair, but thankfully this bean bag was fairly easy to fluff-and I think that's at least in part because this bean bag expands into a full-size mattress. ![]() While the foam did have a mild odor (which isn't unusual for manufactured products) it wasn't overwhelming and seemed to dissipate quite quickly. Inside the box, the chair was sent in two separate pieces, the large and super-soft corduroy-chenille cover and the packed foam.

![]() Amongst many things he discusses the endless battle of good against evil, whether the idea that sacrificing the few for the needs of the many is acceptable, if the end always justifies the means, what it means to be in a position power, the powerful drive that is retribution, and that’s just for starters. In addition to that, Bagwell does a marvelous job once again at discussing interesting philosophical concepts and depicting the complicated layers of emotions hiding beneath the characters’ surfaces. These moments certainly don’t dominate the book by any stretch of the imagination their appearances are strategic and carefully-timed, making them much more bearable in my opinion. ![]() If it’s something that bothers you, there is always the option of skipping it. It is darker in its nature than the first one with the plot touching on some rather heavy and uncomfortable subjects, but they’re the kind that need to be discussed and can’t simply be ignored.Īdditionally, the level of gore and violence seems to have been ramped up a tiny bit, though I should add that it’s never gratuitous or deprived of meaningful context. One area in which this novel certainly doesn’t lack is weight (or heft, if you prefer). While all of that is happening Alexion has re-entered the game and, with nothing to lose, faces some very tough decisions as to how he wants to find his way back to the top. ![]() He doesn’t know it yet, but it’s only the beginning of a long chain of events that will ultimately bear a tremendous impact on the fate of his city. Thus he finds it’s his duty to return and rule over his people, which leads him on his first quest in this new position: to investigate the dark keep looming over the marketplace. However, after some debates with Alfred and personal deliberations, Jason decides that he should go back in… after all, he has been appointed the Regent of the Twilight Throne and is even the ruler of an undead city. It takes little to no time for things to pick up again as continue right where we ended last time, with Jason reluctant to re-enter the game after his victory against his rival Alexion. Thankfully he disappointed nobody with the second novel in the series, Awaken Online: Precipice, and some would argue that he even managed to out-do the original tour-de-force that the first book was. Though it might have been his first published novel, Awaken Online: Catharsis was a true work of art that garnered loads of attention in the literary community, and as a result all eyes were turned on him to see what he could produce in his second outing. But he is not without accompanying controversy - labelled by revisionist historians with negative epithets for perceived "crimes" against the peoples of the lands that he "discovered". The Captain Cook Memorial at Kealakekua Bay Hawaii as it appeared in 1957.Ĭaptain James Cook RN is justly remembered in history as one of the greatest explorers, navigators and map makers of all time. If you don't snorkel, it may not be worth the effort.The Captain Cook Memorial at Kealakakua Bay Hawaii Total hike is about an hour down and 1.25 hours back up. Wear hiking/water shoes instead of flip flops or sandals due to the loose lava rock and dirt. Take more water than you think you need, a hat, snorkeling gear, and take your time. The hike back is uphill in the heat - again, not a difficult uphill walk, but the heat makes it harder. ![]() Lots of boats park nearby to allow tour groups to snorkel. The monument itself is nothing special to see. Then once you descend to the water it's beautiful and the snorkeling is excellent. It's not very scenic until you pop out above the coastline. If you don't enjoy humidity and heat, this hike is not great. It's not a physically hard hike, but it is really HOT in places where there is no shade. The hike is 1.8 miles each way, with 1300 foot change in elevation on a dirt/lava rock path. We hiked down the Captain Cook trail to the monument for snorkeling with our local friend. Just beware that if you read anywhere that this is a moderate hike you may find it more difficult. The views were beautiful and while we were completely exhausted after, we felt a sense of accomplishment. I found hiking uphill much easier as I was not afraid of falling or slipping. Our 4.5 enjoyed the hike down, but not the hike back up. When we got to the bottom we were too worried about making it back to the top to enjoy the area. The second half of the first bit is more open, gets more steep and has loose rocks under foot….difficult and scary to go down with a baby in the carrier. Long pants and sleeves would be helpful as I got quite cut up by the plants. The first half of the downhill part is through thick sugar cane plants. We thought since it was described as “moderate” it’d be fine with the kids. We have a ten month old and 4.5 year old at the time. We read that this was a moderate two mile hike out to the monumental and then two miles back for a total four mile hike. Including 2 hours of snorkeling, it was 5 hour long trip. The rocks are small hence making it slippery.įamily of 4 consumed 7 bottles of water and 3 cans of soda in a round trip under partly cloudy day. 1.3 miles is full of grass on muddy trail. It took 70 mins to hike down, and 100 mins to hike up. If determined, one can hike with aqua shoes, but it is more difficult on the muddy part of the trail. Hiking shoes are not a must, but highly recommended. Hat is highly recommended, because the grass is tall and will attack head and neck. Without this, the grass will constantly cut the legs and arms skin. Some part of the path looks unpassable due to the grass. ![]() About 1.3 miles out of 2 miles tail (one way), the grass will cut legs and arms constantly. Grasses cover already narrow path, and it appears the path is not maintained at all. (I visited there when it rains everyday). Is full of tall and wide grasses and the path is very muddy. Pictures associated with Google map is no longer applicable. But one can legally park on unpaved part of the road. There is neither a sign post nor a marker.
