I don’t really have too much to write for this post; just some reflections and odds & ends. Hawaii is really gorgeous. There are something like 14 of the 16 types of ecosystems on Maui. The climate seems to change on a mile by mile basis. There is so much natural beauty packed into such …
Author: Steven
I am a money grubbing capitalist pig, but actually not very good it. I am 20 lbs overweight, but go the gym reasonably often. I have absolutely no concept of how hard the things I want to do are…until I have agreed to do them. I've got a couple of adult kids who live far away and a career that has me sitting at a desk all day.
Things is like: baseball, a really good gin & tonic, my convertible, and warm weather.
Things I am not so keen on: heights, overpriced food and having nothing to do.
Homeward Bound
Our last day on the islands (so sad). We had a 1pm flight from Honolulu to LA then a 2 hour layover and onward to Chicago. We arrived at 6am on Saturday. All in the elapsed travel time - including airport time and taxi home was about 15 hours; a pretty long day. The flights …
Dive & Thai
Wednesady’s adventures: scuba and Thai food.
Today we are going to sit by the pool
At least we were going to sit by the pool right after I had a surfing lesson. I signed up for a 10am lesson through Surf & Yoga in Kihei...about 10 mins away...2 hour lesson, then right to the pool. The lesson was great! Eddie, my instructor, had me up after only about 10 minutes …
The Gasoline Lemonade Acid War Zone Trail
My apologies to Tom Wolfe, but I couldn’t resist (if you don’t get the joke, google Tom Wolfe, find the book and read it). Today started with my company meeting. Everyone was forced to make important decisions at 9:00 — I went for the Bloody Mary, not the Mimosa — it was a brutal meeting …
Travel day
It has been a very long travel day. We left our house at 8am CST and arrived in our hotel room at 7pm in the Hawaii-Aleutian Time Zone. Adjusting that back to CST, it is midnight. That is the thing about traveling, flying time was about 10 hours, but the elapsed time was 16 hours. …
I am just forgetful
We leave tomorrow so last weekend we started our packing processes, which like so many things are very different. Sue seems to just keep it all in her head and then grabs things willy-nilly and chucks them into a suitcase (I can hold a lot more in my brain than some other people) – or that is …
The Booking Elves
Well, the booking elves have been busy (read Sue, as she is our official booker). (I found this out accidentally, when Steven said, "Did you book that? You're the booker.") We broke down the trip by day and then started to work through our list of possible adventures. Some of them we don’t need to …
Aloha
Just a few ideas Steven has for our Hawaii trip.
Day one of our latest adventure
Welcome to our blog. If you don’t know us, we are a new couple; we have been together about 3 years and we are looking to spend our lives together (according to him) planning to travel, traveling, and then talking about traveling. I am Steven. I am in my mid-fifties, work in an office, and …
