Well, I wasn’t going to say anything for a couple of reasons. One—we would surely get judged for our decision and two, we weren’t even sure what we were going to do ourselves. It’s been a wait-and-see game without a doubt. For some of you also, I’m guessing. See, we happen to LOVE travelling, specifically …

Perfectly Timed Vacation
You know, as I sit leisurely on the lanai for our tenth straight day, I am trying to think of the word/words to describe when a planned vacation just so happens to fall during record-setting Frigid cold temperatures and snow back home. Joy? Happiness? Lucky? Blessed? Relief? Pure and absolute pleasure? A sense of perfection? How …
What If I Could Have Made a Small Difference and Chose Not To?
Life can be complicated no matter who you are--age, gender, race, culture, religion, geographical location, etc. In fact, you can't expect to go through this world of ours without your fair share of challenges in amongst those moments of clarity and elation; the ones we all aspire to achieve, hopefully more than once or twice. …

Mama Humpback Whale Smiles… (no joke!)
One of the reasons that my husband and I chose to return to Maui so soon after our trip here last August was because of all of the buzz regarding the sighting of humpback whales in these protected waters from December through early April. In fact, the lady that helped manage our condo last year …
Maui Sunrise
This sunrise picture was taken the other day just outside our condo here in Maui. The four hour time difference from home wakes us up early enough to take in the first few glimpses of muted pink tones in the sky just above the neighbouring island of Lanai. Now, add in a freshly brewed cup of …
Cliff Jumping
One of the allures in Wai'anapanapa State Park in Maui is the natural beauty of the black sand beaches mixed in with age-old lava rock, whose stories I am sure stretch well beyond the depths of the South Pacific waters. As it turned out during our brief visit to the park, a group of twenty-something …
Haleakala Lava Cake
This chocolatey, flourless lava cake at Duke's Beach House in Maui is simply delectable. We know....we devoured it! Served warm with caramelized pineapple and créme anglaise sauce, technique and timing is Critical when it comes to eating it. Timing maybe, but technique you question? Yes!! In order to get all of the ooey-gooey ingredients in every bite (an …
Calling Hawaii Home?
On our last day here in Maui, we contemplate just what it is exactly about Hawaii that draws us in so closely each and every time that we come to visit. I mean, obviously the islands have an allure that most people adore, and I, personally, have not ever heard anyone complain about their stay, …
Sailboat Sunset
Last night, I just managed to capture this sailboat sailing through the path of the sunlight on the South Pacific waters here in Maui. The sparkling light and the warm tones make my heart smile each and every time that I am fortunate to witness these amazing sunsets! Aloha and Mahalo:-). Ooh, Shiny!
“Signs, Signs, Everywhere Signs”
The Five Man Electrical Band is famous for the familiar tune, Signs. Admittedly, I can't say that I know much about the lyrics themselves or their meaning, so I can't say if the song fits rightfully into this post or not, but certainly the quoted line in my title does. As we presently vacation on the …
