Zip Line in Maui

In the age of digital media it’s so easy to experience something “virtually” which may push you over the edge to try it … or keep you in your seat to not try it. Disclaimer:  My review and presentation below is not a substitution for the real thing. We tried the Zip Line.  Actually I’m [...]

The road beyond Hana Highway

The problem with famous roads is just that.  They’re famous.  If you’re in Maui, you’ll see “Drive Hana Highway” on every “must do list”.   Ok.  So it’s beautiful.  Breathtaking even.   And yes…yes yes…it is a must do!  And if I were Queen Hannah of Hawaii I would ban all tourists from Hana Highway and raise [...]

Quirky things while traveling

I see different things while traveling. 1:  Heathrow Airport Goes Social.  I was entertained with how modern Heathrow is.  They have computer stations….areas where you could hop online scattered all throughout.  Check out the signage above these workstations – and how social it is.  They promote that you can go online for video, game, sound, [...]

The local farmers gathered during the weekend and showed off their wares.  Cheese.  Meat.  Wine.  Yum. Click any icon [...]

Anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall

I remember when I was in elementary school learning about the Berlin Wall… watching and hearing about the 3.5 million people trapped behind it.  Over the 25 years that it was up, more than 5,000 people tried to cross with death tolls ranging from 100 to 200.    Oh the injustice of it all. Finally, [...]

Big Sur is Majestic

Big Sur holds a special place in my heart.  Truly majestic and powerful.  Why?  Maybe… it’s how the ocean in all his glory, so softly met her cliffs.  Two opposite forces of nature, ocean and land, just meeting.  As if for the first time.  Over a cup of tea.  In all their original glory. To [...]

Catalina via Catamaran

Catalina is a boater’s paradise.  Few places anywhere offer the tranquility or the peaceful atmosphere that exists on Santa Catalina Island.  From year to year Catalina remains one of my favorite jewels of the sea.  It’s close enough to Los Angeles and San Diego to make this a very quick trip.  It’s only 20 miles or [...]
