“Could we have a day?” That was my mom asking my sister and me if we could spend a full day touring Maui together on our last family vacation. We were completely taken aback that she even felt the need to ask. Of course we “could have a day,” there was nothing we were looking forward to … [Read more]
Well, hello friends, it’s been awhile, hasn’t it? Sometimes I think I could be a decent travel blogger and then reality hits when I realize it’s been four months and I’ve hardly written a lick on here. Life happens. But on a particularly steamy afternoon in early January in Lahaina, life was good. So, sooo … [Read more]
Aloha, friends. Usually when I travel, I like to think about how I will put into words what I see and do to give a glimpse at how a place looks or feels. And it’s never hard to come up with a way to describe Maui. I’ve visited four times, and it still seems fresh whenever I … [Read more]
Three amazing adventures happened in 2015. I flew to Maui with my best friends, hit up San Francisco with my mom and sisters, and spent a weekend in Eastern Canada with my love. I so enjoy making these photo books year after year. Working on them is a labour of love, they take forever to put together, but … [Read more]
On a sunny day in Lahaina, my bro found us a boat and took us out on the turquoise waters to spy whales, swim with the fishes and imbibe Mai Tais. It was pretty sweet.
Do you sometimes think your tech device is getting to know you a little too well? Like freakishly so? This actually came across my mind on the last day of my latest travel adventure to Maui — one of the prettiest and relaxing places in the world. Trust me. On this particular visit, I found myself … [Read more]
“Travelling — it leaves you speechless then turns you into a storyteller.” When I started this blog way back when, my goal was for it to force me to write more often, become more comfortable with writing and hopefully help me become a better writer over time. Through the years I’ve found the easiest stories to write about are my … [Read more]
You know those days when everything aligns perfectly and you end up living a most amazing moment? And when you’re in it, you know it. That happened to us in Maui on the Island Rhythms cruise.
The Road to Hana, a drive so nice, we did it twice! For this year’s journey through the jungle, we decided to hit up different places than we did on our first go-around. Not a hard task since there are many, many ways to explore the legendary Hana Highway.
On a warm, windy day in Maui, we took a delightful drive along the west coast of the island. The highlight of the day was standing on the cliffs over Honolua Bay watching surfers attack some amazing waves.

Forget pub crawls, I’m all about the beach crawl. And who wouldn’t be? Less time to get ready, less creepers invading your space, more sun, more fun. After our Little Beach experience, we were having a drink at the local pub when out of the blue Diana says “We should do a beach crawl tomorrow!” After a … [Read more]
Little beach is full of… heart. Yeah, you thought I was going to go there, but I didn’t. I say it’s full of heart because entering the beach as tourists I expected to be shunned or stick out like a sore thumb, which couldn’t have been further from the truth. Instead, we experienced the kindness … [Read more]
My friend Denise and her husband Greg love Maui. Like really love it. Like if ever two people needed to pack up everything and move to a tropical island, it’s these two. And that tropical island would have to be Maui. They actually glow as soon as they get off the plane (and it’s not because of the … [Read more]
Just finished my 2011 photo album. Last year’s highlights included Maui, Banff, Vancouver and Palm Springs. http://www.blurb.com/books/2952450?ce=blurb_ew&utm_source=widget Fingers crossed to see just as many interesting and beautiful places this year.
After spending two glorious weeks in Maui, it was nice to come home. I was starting to get homesick. My last lunch before leaving the island included the best chicken salad sandwich ever. It was filled with walnuts and cranberries, which was a really tasty combo. While noshing on our goodies in front of the … [Read more]
