Poke is quite possibly my favorite food on earth. I first discovered its wonder on Oahu last year at Tanioka’s, and have been addicted ever since. Raw cubes of fresh fish marinated in all sorts of goodies served on a bed of rice, simple perfection. It doesn’t get much fresher […]

From the minute you walk in the door, the friendly staff at Big Island Candies [585 Hinano St Hilo, HI 96720] will offer you samples and you are free to discover them down the aisles as well. Taste test around and find what you’re favorite style of candy is in […]
Waterfalls are one of those magical Hawaiian elements, along with rainbows and poke, but let’s stay focused. There are so many waterfalls on the islands, you could spend your whole vacation chasing them and never run out! Even if you don’t spend all of your time seeking waterfalls, you must at […]
Comfortably tucked into the scene on the main drag in Hilo, we found the perfect spot to eat our Sunday lunch. Many places are closed Sundays, but Dragon Kitchen Sushi [330 Kamehameha Ave, Hilo, HI 96720] was on my list of places to eat no matter what day it was […]

The Big Island is the youngest of the Hawaiian Islands and still has active volcanoes. For this reason, you won’t find as many long stretches of sandy beach as you would on the other islands, but a lot of rocky lava beaches. However, on this island you will find hot […]
After a long day of traveling and too short of a night’s sleep we woke up in Pahoa on the Big Island, our home for the next five days. Most people choose to stay in bigger cities (‘bigger’ is relative because all cities are pretty small on Big Island) like […]
This winter Jeff and I returned to our favorite state, Hawaii! Although this was our third visit, in many ways it felt like we were there for the first time all over again. On this adventure we explored two new islands: Hawaii (Big Island) and Kauai, and revisited our beloved […]
