Preparing for a National Park Trip
Planning trips is something I enjoy. I revel in the process, the research, as well as the building anticipation as the trip nears. Right now we have two trips for fall 2022 planned. One is to Buffalo, NY to attend the wedding of a friend’s son and from there we are going to make the…

Foodie Monday: Fish, Rum, and Pineapples
We had some delicious food on our trip to Maui – namely some delicious fresh fish which we knew we could find and enjoy. Mahi-mahi, salmon, and others were part of our fish tacos, fish and chips, and ahi-seared preparations. We also enjoyed fresh Maui Gold pineapple several times during the week, as well as…

What’s there to do on the island of Maui?
Obviously, there’s enough here to bring us back three times since 2009. The first time we stayed we were “feeling our way along” and our three boys were young at the time. Their age and worries about their safety limited some of our activities but we still had the chance to do some special things….
Slice of Life Tuesday: Vacation Dangers, Part 1
We’ve been lucky enough to spend the last week on the Hawaiian Island of Maui. It’s been a welcome change from the frigid winter the midwest has experienced this year. The reality of returning will hit us soon enough. It’s been a wonderful vacation, full of fun, great scenery, even greater food, and an opportunity…
