Visiting Hawaii Volcanoes National Park is simply a must when on the Big Island. It is incredible to be in the presence of an active volcano and such diverse awe inspiring nature. Pele the Hawaiian fire goddess lives here, so if you choose you can walk through a lava tube, […]

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 […]
This is the place to get mole. Everyone is waiting on line outside because they know about the mole. It was cold, we had hiked all day, but none of that mattered. We were thankful they offered us a hot cup of cider to hold onto and sip as we […]
I can’t spend too much time in a city before I have the urge to get back into nature. Lucky for me, Fredrick Law Olmsted has designed many green spaces around American cities. One of them is the Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University [125 Arborway, Boston, MA 02130] in the […]

Top Picks: Koko Head (Workout, Military Remnants, Windward) This hike is a serious workout even if you are in good shape. As you drive towards the park you can see the cone looming in the distance, and you can make out the steep trail that lies ahead of you. There […]
Rainbow Drive-In (Cheap Eats, Lunch/Dinner, Honolulu) A quick, cheap, casual dinner turned out to be pretty tasty at this drive-in. The loco-moco is a keystone in Hawaiian cuisine. It’s not exactly my type of dish, so I was happy when Jeff decided to try it out. It consists of a […]
Hi, I’m back from winter vacation! This year I was fortunate enough to visit the Hawaiian island of Oahu with my love for nine whole days, internet free. Last winter we visited Maui, which was an entirely different world. Maui (the way we interpreted it) was more of a relaxing […]
I just got back from an amazing trip to Toronto, Niagara Falls, and Letchworth State Park. I’ll break it down day-by-day: Day One Saturday morning we left real early to make Toronto by lunchtime, which was had at the St. Lawrence Market. Some locals recommended having a Peameal Bacon sandwich […]
