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 […]

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 […]
