So glad the tour guide on this snorkeling tour didn’t actually need a bribe to make sure he didn’t drop our water camera when he swam underneath us to take this unique photo! 😉
I took mom and dad on a charter flight for their anniversary last week. It was their first time in a small Cessna but not their first time in the air as I also took them on a helicopter ride during a family trip to Hawaii in 2012 (though given the company we used had […]

Shea and I attempt to re-create one of our (okay, my!) favourite snacks from our Hawaii trip. Pretty close though I think the version we ate had fresh kim-chi in it as well.
Here’s a video montage I made of some of the highlights of our recent trip to Kauai and Maui:
