How are you my friend? What are the chances of the volcano going off? If it isn't that high then maybe thats part of the attraction - doing dangerous stuff makes some people feel alive I guess. Vern!

Here we don't have hurricanes, many earthquakes... but, 2 days after I left Phuket we had the TSUNAMI! But come on Christian - buying land and a house on a volcano? You own everything under the ground - yes? Littoral rights I think it's called - my real estate career was brief, but I think I remember that word for some reason. You own the rights to the liquid magma that flows beneath your house... that's just weird! lol... Anyway, when do you expect to have your bed and breakfast ready so people can go spend time on Big Island?

And they have to stay somewhere, hence a thriving B&B and vacation rental industry up there, since there are no hotels. Besides, there is actually a volcano/lave insurance for home owners... Now my friend Vern, who wrote this, comes from Florida. I heard that on occasion, hurricanes demolish Florida. Yet, every year, the people rebuild and continue living there. So I guess Floridians and Hawaiians are either as ignorant about the dangers, or equally stubborn in nature...
