I’m back! I started this blog in August of 2020 and for a little over a year with few opportunities to pursue our family hobby of traveling and greatly diminished work travel, I found myself with plenty of time to revisit my journals from old trips and transform the entries into blog posts. However, lastContinue reading “December 2016 – “Big 5”, Utah and Las Vegas, Nevada”

Wonder Why We Ever Go Home
Sunday and Monday, October 20-21, 2019, Kaanapali, Maui, Hawaii It was hard to believe Sunday was already our last full day in Maui. Time indeed flies when you’re having fun. It was another very lazy, relaxing day. In the morning we walked a few blocks up the street to the public beach. We found aContinue reading “Wonder Why We Ever Go Home”
Island Time
Saturday, October 19, 2019, Kaanapali, Maui, Hawaii The view from our condo was beautiful. We could open the back door and look at Lanai and Molokai. We could walk about 30 feet from that door to the seawall and look at the sea turtles who visited every morning. It was another gorgeous spot to spendContinue reading “Island Time”
Stayed for Sunset This Time
Stayed for Sunset This Time Friday, October 18, 2019 – Hana to Kaanapali, Maui, Hawaii Time goes by so fast. After spending two full days in Hana, it was time to traverse the Road to Hana in the other direction and enjoy the west side of Maui for a few days. But as usual, weContinue reading “Stayed for Sunset This Time”
Red Sand and Huli Huli
Thursday, October 17, 2019 – Hana, Maui, Hawaii On morning three in Hawaii I did a little better with sleep – I didn’t wake up until 5:45. I thought I could go back to sleep, but I looked out the window and the sky was just starting to get light with the sunrise. My favoriteContinue reading “Red Sand and Huli Huli”
Sacred Marketing
Wednesday, October 16, 2019 – Hana, Maui, Hawaii Once again I was up early. I did some work and wrote in my journal – writing the text that would become this blog post. As I sat at the small desk in the cottage I watched the sun rise and listened to the birds call toContinue reading “Sacred Marketing”
Paradise
Paradise Tuesday, October 15, 2019 – Kahului to Hana, Maui, Hawaii Monday was a travel day not worth a blog post. It was a long day of flying. We had been at a friend’s wedding over the weekend near Atlanta, so our routing was Atlanta to San Diego to Oakland to Kahului. You guessed itContinue reading “Paradise”
October 2019 – Maui, Hawaii
Chrissy and I went to Maui for the first time in January of 2003. I attended a conference in Honolulu for a few days, then we spent a weekend in Maui before heading home. On that trip we drove part of the road to Hana and promised ourselves we would come back and go allContinue reading “October 2019 – Maui, Hawaii”
Lake of the Clouds
Sunday, July 25, 2021 –Buckshot Cabin, Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park, Michigan to Juneau Park Beer Garden Milwaukee Another day and I was up with the sun, as usual. The morning was as cloudless and beautiful as the night before. With the orientation of the shore line the sun didn’t rise out of the lake,Continue reading “Lake of the Clouds”
Backcountry
Saturday, July 24, 2021 – Buckshot Cabin, Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park, Michigan We were really in the backcountry. Of course you can get much, much deeper, but we were 2 ½ miles from where we parked the car with no power, no running water, and no cell signal. It was paradise. I woke upContinue reading “Backcountry”
