Hawaii Trip – Snorkelling at Molokini

Molokini is one of the world’s best scuba and snorkel spots.  Shea and I went out yesterday for a tour and during the trip, I asked our guide to take our picture.  I expected him to just snap a quickie from the surfboard where he was sitting watching our group but instead he hopped off […]

Hawaii Trip – Road to Hana

A few shots from our trip on the infamous “Road to Hana” today. You must stop for hot-from-the-oven banana bread around the halfway mark (coincidence – I have an Aunt Sandi who’s a major fan of all things Hawaiian!): The view of a black sand beach: One of the many waterfalls along the trail (the […]

Hawaii Trip – 104 Flavors

Discovered an ice cream shop near our condo that has 104 flavors! So hard to choose so I didn’t – opting for shave ice once again! 😉

Hawaii Trip – Poke

Just realised that most of the photos I’ve been uploading have been regular size (eg. 2-3 MB) instead of being properly re-sized for the web.  Apologies to anyone who’s still on dial-up (uhm, is there anyone still on dial-up?) Not sure if it’s been mentioned on my blog yet (if you’re following Shea’s Facebook photo […]

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 […]
