So I hope Pele will bless me with an eruption like that while I'm
there and I'll hop a flight to the Big Island in a heartbeat.

It is very "hit or miss". Just because it is erupting today, doesn't mean that it will be erupting tomorrow, or even in two hours. Good luck.
If you do get to give it a try, make sure you have some kind of breathing mask. Pele's Hair can be very irritating to the nose and throat. It is also very itchy (ask me how I know!) if it gets into your skin, kind of like glass wool insulation. We saw one family wearing thin ponchos. The stuff coated our rental car, but blew off when we started driving.
