November 18, 2024Brandon had thrown the idea out on day 1 about getting up to see the sunrise on one of the days. I had asked Brandon last night if he was still game, but he was an emphatic "No". None-the-less Tom and I still thought it was a great idea so…- November 17, 2024Once again I was up with roosters. We took our time getting ready and enjoyed another great breakfast by the pool and met up with the gang at 10:00 to walk to Fort Zachary Taylor Historic State Park. On the way we stopped by the US Coast Guard Cutter Ingham…
November 16, 2024I had set an alarm for 8:00, but was up well before that. It was probably because of all the roosters who were cock-a-doodle-dooling. The hotel had a great complimentary breakfast that consisted of breakfast sandwiches, croissants, yogurt, ham, cheese, fresh fruits, etc that we enjoyed by the pool with…- November 15, 2024Nothing excites me more than when a friend or family member reaches out and asks if we want to go on a trip with them. In this case, our friend Brandon wanted to go on a trip to celebrate turning 40. It was a quick yes from us and also…
- October 26, 2024When Tom's cousin Heather sent out an email in February inviting us on a surprise trip to Jamaica for her husband Liam's 50th birthday, we didn't hesitate to book and join the group. In addition to celebrating Liam's birthday, we thought this would also be a nice way to celebrate…
- August 29, 2024I woke up early today in order to check in for my flight. Those that have flown Southwest understand why it's good to check in as early as possible to get a better boarding position. Even though I checked in during the first minute it was available, I am still…
- August 28, 2024When I got up this morning we didn't have any plans for the day so after my bowl of Cheerios I started surfing the web for the must do things on the Big Island. I found that #23 of 26 things to see was the Pololu Valley Overlook which is…
- August 27, 2024In excitement (and or fear of missing my alarm) I was up early this morning, but didn't get out the door any earlier than I originally planned. Uncle Andy was going to drop me off and pick me up from my snorkeling excursion, but instead of making two round trips…
- August 26, 2024I woke up this morning to find perfectly blue sunny skies. You would have never guessed there was a major storm system that had passed by yesterday. After taking our time getting going this morning, we headed out the door around 10:30 and headed to the Hamakua Macadamia Nut Company…
August 25, 2024I had a good night's sleep even though the wind was whipping with the storm. I woke up to find that Tropical Storm Hone had been upgraded to a Category 1 hurricane. I saw some palms had come down and a chair from our patio was tipped over, but other…- August 24, 2024Jet lag always seems to want to affect me when I travel West. I went to bed about 9:30 Hawaii time which would be about 2:30a.m. back at home. It had been a long travel day and I was more than ready for my head to hit the pillow. I…
- August 23, 2024During my first year of retirement from the military, my goals were to travel as much as possible, spend times with those I love, and work at Summerfest. So far I have met all of my goals, but is there really ever enough travel? That brings me to my current…
