Maui road trip and the Road to Hana

I didn’t know how much I loved a good road trip until Australia. With two unique trips, one along the Queensland coast and another from Sydney to Perth and back, I spent 3 months on the road with friends and had the time of my life. As soon as I started reading about things to […]

Watching the Sunrise at Haleakala National Park in Maui

Setting an alarm for 3:00am doesn’t make the “to-do list” for most vacations. I certainly didn’t expect to include “hit the road in the middle of the night” to our list of honeymoon plans. But when you visit Maui, you’ll want to experience sunrise from the summit of Haleakala, a dormant volcano that accounts for […]

Alohahola! Maui’s best Mexican meal

Whenever I talk to fellow travel blogging Americans about food, one thing becomes apparent — we love looking for good Mexican food wherever in the world we may be. As a gal who pursues food experiences when I travel above most any other, I appreciate how the company of those who join me and the […]

Our unforgettable first luau: The Feast at Lele in Maui

Before we even started planning our Hawaiian honeymoon, I already knew the number one thing I wanted to do in Maui — attend a luau. If you’re a regular reader, you know I explore new destinations through food. What you may not know is that I have a strong appreciation for dance and love watching […]

Zipping over Upcountry Maui with Piiholo Ranch Zipline

Although Gav and I wanted to enjoy Maui’s beautiful beaches during our honeymoon, I was equally interested in exploring the island’s mountains, fields, and farmland of Upcountry Maui. The region offers beautiful views to those who take time to experience more than the beaches and resorts of West Maui, and we loved getting to know […]

New tour in Maui: Ocean Vodka’s Organic Farm and Distillery

Two weeks before we left on our Hawaiian honeymoon, and well after I’d stopped planning things to see, do, and eat, I noticed an update in my Facebook news feed that made me stop in my tracks. “Gav,” I called out to my husband in the next room, “I think we need to add a […]

Maui Pineapple Tours: Visit a working pineapple plantation

When I visit a new destination, domestic or international, I search for blogs offering local tour reviews, gorgeous photos of food from restaurants and cafes, and travel advice. As we were planning our Hawaiian honeymoon, I read and reread the posts of fellow food-loving traveler and blogger Annette, who had recently enjoyed a trip to […]

The most relaxing stop on Maui’s Road to Hana

Massage has proved to be a great healing tool for me in the past, helping chiropractic adjustments last longer and blessing me with a fantastic night’s sleep. If I had the resources to schedule a massage once a month, I’d do so in a flash. If there was ever a time I’ve needed massage, this […]

Discovering delicious organic tropical fruit at Maui’s Ono Organic Farm

If you know me, you know that I love food. If you really know me, you know that I adore eating healthfully, especially fresh organic produce and other organic products. Ditch the GMOs, preservaties, and other nasties. Yes, I’ve written all about my sweet tooth in the past, but for the most part, I am […]

Our honeymoon in Hawaii: 6-day Maui itinerary

Gav and I weren’t engaged very long before we decided our honeymoon destination — Hawaii! It was the ideal choice as neither of us has been to Hawaii before, and we needed to select a domestic location in case Gav’s green card hadn’t been issued. So many honeymooners around the world choose Hawaii, and with […]
