Travel Blogger Show September 11 and 12 Was Great!

So, I think it is always a benefit to discover ways to increase vacation value but not exhaust the budget. The economic crunch has made each of us pay closer attention to vacation budgets and to… Continue

Ho'oumaluhia Botanical Garden Offers Easy Access to Nature

Ho'oumaluhia Botanical Garden means "to make a place of peace and tranquility" and it surely lives up to its name. It's hard to believe the garden is located just shy of a residential and urban area.

The garden sprawls for 400-acres at the foot of the Ko'olau Mountains in Kaneohe, Oahu. With free admission, a scenic lake, picnic… Continue

A Lazy Afternoon in Kailua Beach

Spotted today in Hawaii: two lovers relaxing in the afternoon sun in Kailua Beach, Oahu. Yes, it is idyllic ... perhaps they were inspired by the famous love scene From Here to Eternity. Can you guess where that was filmed?

Best for Families: Fall Festivals & Corn Mazes Provide Quick Getaways With High Fun Factor

I have just posted sixty ways to have fun with your kids in corn, around corn, and with corn. We know mini breaks make a world of difference and I know that pint-sized fun is better than no fun at all whether it’s a daytrip or a weekend escape, enjoying time together and making family memories matters.

For me it is a good excuse to behave like a kid again if only for a few hours. I love our family custom of selecting the perfect pumpkin… Continue
