Hawaii Trip – Honu

Spent the day on Anini Beach swimming with Honu, another amazing Kauai experience. Maui’s going to have to be pretty spectacular to compete with Kauai – everything from our condo and its ground-floor, watch the whales from your lanai, steps to a children’s playground location to the helicopter tour of the island to a visit […]

Hawaii Trip – Shithead

No, that subject line doesn’t mean Shea is fed up with me (at least as far as I know!) We were heading for the Waimea Canyon today but a rainy morning made us decide to head back to our condo after breakfast. (A good decision – the radio cut in with emergency warnings of potential […]

Hawaii Trip – Polihale Beach

Gave the rental van a bit of a work-out driving to the most remote beach on Kauai today. There are lots of warnings online and in guidebooks about the condition of the road but to be honest, it sort of reminded me of some of the backroads in Saskatchewan – lots of washboard but nothing […]

Hawaii Trip – Kauai From The Air

We’re a couple days into our trip and finally over our jet lag and the time change (four hours earlier than home) though Shea and I still find ourselves going to bed around 8pm (midnight at home) and getting up at 4am (8am at home) so far. We’re on Kauai’s east side so that’s okay […]

Friday Funk Link – 10 Ways To Make A Winter Trip to West Edmonton Mall Feel Like A Tropical Vacation

Contrary to the impression you might get from some western Premiers, the Covid pandemic is not over. But with vaccinations and boosters also being increasingly common, we’re all slowly returning to “normal” (whatever that is.) Shea and I weren’t quite ready to book an out-of-country hot holiday as that leads to all sorts of other […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Helicopter Ride in Hawaii (January 2012)

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 […]
