Even though I like my photos, these do not even come close to doing justice to this experience. If you ever have the opportunity to go, don’t scoff at the notion of waking up at 3am to make the drive. Temperatures at the summit are about 30 degrees cooler than at the surface which made […]

We were excited about our last stop before making it to Hana because we really wanted to see the black sand beach. We wish we had brought swimwear, but we were so focused on the drive that we didn’t think about bringing anything along with us to enjoy the stops. Regardless I enjoyed walking around,

After a few more stops along the roadside, we decided to spend a little time at the Kahanu Gardens. It was a good decision and worth the per person fee.

Blue skies, bluer water …. on a catamaran in Honolulu has to be somewhere in the upper half of a list of the best places to find yourself on a Saturday afternoon. I had this opportunity recently and had a good time. Captain Jon of Sail Mankani and his crew were awesome and I recommend

Took a quick trip out to the Sunset Valley Nature Trail area this past Sunday. I’ve worked near Sunset Valley for 12+ years and never knew that area was back there. I guess I should make better use of my lunch hour! We couldn’t figure out the best place to “get on” the trail, so
