Trip Planning in the Digital Age

Here’s a list, roughly from most to least useful, of the sites, apps and other online resources I used in researching our trip to Hawaii.  The links I’ve included are mostly to info about Kauai since that’s our first stop but most of these searches were repeated for Maui info. YouTube – I always think […]

Music Monday – “All that fibre optic gear/Cannot take away the fear/Like an island song”

Other than those opening lines about it being “cold, cold, cold” (today was +5), I think this is my theme song for the next couple weeks. Oh, and there’s also the line about “You’re caught up in the Internet/You think it’s such a great asset/But you’re wrong, wrong, wrong.”  Not sure how much I’ll be […]

Saturday Snap – Goodbye Snow!

Pace and I made what will likely be our last visit to the park by our house before we leave for Hawaii next week.  Then, when we got home, we found Shea cooking a tropical feast of shrimp and fish.  So I poured us all OJ’s and 7-up (and coconut rum for the adults) and […]

In One Week…

…this is where I’ll be! (And with the waterproof case we got for my iPhone from Santa, this could very well be me taking this exact video!  Of course, it was +6 in Regina today and a high of +19 (!) in Maple Creek, SK so, with Lihue Kauai coming in at +23, my timing […]

Friday Fun Link – My Year in First Lines

Every year on December 31, I do a “Year End Memes” post which has two parts – the first answers a bunch of questions about the past year.  The second provides an overview of my year via the first lines of each month’s blog post during the past twelve months. Last year, I split them […]

A Small Pat on the Back (or Is That the Belly?)

As is often the case with many people who gain weight as they get older, I went from a high school graduating weight of 180 lbs to a “freshman fifteen” (okay, forty!) that took me up to around 220 in undergrad to a lifestyle in Calgary that was full of drinking beer, eating out and […]

How Excited Am I For Hawaii?

Feeling like I’ve exhausted every web site, guidebook and YouTube clip in existence, I find myself paging through the online weekly flyer for a Kauai-based supermarket, wondering if the prices are really as bad as they say (not really) and thinking about some of the different meals we’ll be able to make in our condo […]
