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…
- June 14, 2024We set the alarm for 1:30, but we were both up before it went off. I think we both were afraid of oversleeping and did that thing where you wake up every couple of hours to check the clock to make sure you're not late. We had gone to bed…
- June 13, 2024Since we went to bed so early last night we both were awake super early as well. That's ok though because there was lots we wanted to do this morning before we drove back to Porto. After getting the blog updated and getting packed up we headed down to the…
- June 12, 2024I was looking forward to having a down day and didn't set an alarm and got up after 8:00. We decided that we would go and explore the town and have lunch before I would go out for "me" time. We first stopped at the other big beach in Lagos.…
- June 11, 2024We had set the alarm for 7:00, but I think we were both awakened by the refrigerator that was running super loud in our room at 6:30. I definitely did not sleep as well as I had the night before. We got out the door by 8:20 and made it…
