Hawaii Trip – Boogie Boarding

Words can’t describe how much fun Pace had boogie boarding on Kamaole Sands III beach across from our Maui condo today.  I literally had to carry him out of the water to get him to leave!

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 – 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 […]

Hawaii Trip – We made it!

Hawaii Trip – Almost there…

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 […]
