When we were deciding on where to stay in Negril we had to choose between Seven Mile Beach and the Cliffs. Ultimately, Seven Mile Beach won out because what’s a trip to an island without easy beach access? However, our visit to Negril wouldn’t have been complete without spending some […]
My Mom and I were looking to book a last minute February trip with two important components, warm weather and beach. We thought about Belize, but the flights weren’t cooperating with our dates. We thought about Panama, but we didn’t want to split our time between city and paradise. Finally […]
Every so often you find one of those towns you fall for. The idyllic, romantic, old school village of Shelburne Falls stole my heart, and even though it’s quite a drive I can’t help but find reasons to return again and again. The road to town is beautiful and there […]
Butterflies are one of the most enchanting, yet fleeting creatures on earth. I can’t help my excitement when I see one in nature, but every time I try to get a closer look they fly away. A visit to Magic Wings Butterfly Conservatory & Gardens [281 Greenfield Rd, South Deerfield, […]

If you are spending time on Kauai’s north shore be sure to take a walk down to Queen’s Bath [Small lot on Kapiolani Loop, Princeville, HI and Punahele Rd]. It is most popularly known as a swimming hole, but a dangerous one at that especially during winter months when the surf […]
Nounou Mountain [Parking lot on Halelilo Road off of Hwy 56, in Wailua] is commonly referred to as Sleeping Giant and the land is steeped in legend. The mountain looks like a human lying down, thus the story of its creation was formed. A giant exhausted from over eating lies […]
Kapu means forbidden, but sometimes, rules are meant to be broken. In the case of Wailua Falls [On Maalo Rd, off of Hwy 580, Lihue, Kauai, HI], that overlook just doesn’t cut it. Sure it’s gorgeous, but there is a much more exhilarating view from the base, and behind the […]
