Oh yes, they call him the streak, the fastest thing on two feet!

On the morning of January 14, 2018, walking the docks at the beautiful Queenstown, New Zealand, we passed a throng of young ladies.  Obviously, they were the bridal party in jubilant celebration of an upcoming wedding.  Yvonne quickly exclaimed, “come on, let’s get away from this gaggle”, and I gleefully obliged.  Some time later, here […]

Best restaurant in Maui … Hawaii … USA … Earth, Mama’s Fish House, Maui, HI

Stolen from my TripAdvisor review … We have been to Maui 3 times and have dined at Mama’s Fish House on each trip.  Every time we walk away with mouth-watering memories of the most delicious food on the planet.  On our latest taste of heaven, I had the Mahi Mahi stuffed with lobster and my […]

We Suffered Like Royalty – Four Seasons Manele Bay, Lanai, HI

Stolen from my TripAdvisor review … This was our first stay at a Four Seasons resort, as the final 2 nights of a 17 day, 4 island Hawaiian celebration of our 25th wedding anniversary.  Our only disappointment was not having stayed for a week, instead of 2 nights.  From the time we arrived at the […]

Charming Little Condo on the “Quiet” Island of Molokai, HI

Stolen from my TripAdvisor review … We stayed at Molokai Shores A215 for 3 nights in late September.  Chaya was very helpful when making reservations and with all other communications.  The condo was a very nicely remodeled and decorated unit that we suspect is one of the nicest on the east side of the island.  […]

Heavenly Memories – Sheraton Maui, HI

Stolen from my TripAdvisor review … We inhabited the Sheraton Maui for four glorious nights and 5 days in mid-September for our 25th wedding anniversary celebration.  We had stayed at neighboring hotels before and endured the long, arduous hike to snorkel at Black Rock, but we had never actually stayed at the Sheraton.  Our ocean […]

Camping in Volcano, Big Island, HI

Stolen from my TripAdvisor review … We enjoyed Volcano Village Lodge for 3 nights in September.   We chuckled as our Garmin GPS told us to turn on “Roady” (Road E) just before reaching the somewhat remote location.  Upon arrival we were intrigued by the beautifully landscaped gardens and the spacious Hale Manaluna accommodations. Living in […]

Our Wonderfully Boring Stay at Hilton Waikoloa, Big Island, HI

Stolen from my TripAdvisor review … We colonized one enchanting room at the Hilton Waikoloa an incredible four nights and cherished every minute.  A main objective of our stay was to locate and embrace as much boredom as possible, forgetting about the excruciatingly busy real lives we left behind.  The hotel and grounds are beautiful […]

Does that Gringo Speak Spanish?

As everyone should know by now, Dawg, Señora Luvely, Señor JHawker and Señora Frendli thoroughly enjoyed our 8 days in Cabo and already look forward to a return visit sometime in the not too distant future. However, there is one thing that occasionally bothered me during the week. I speak decent Spanish for a gringo […]

Don’t Throw Rocks

One morning after breakfast, Señor JHawker stepped onto our second floor balcony at Hacienda Del Mar with a cup of coffee and I followed a few minutes later. I quickly noticed him talking to a woman on the ground, Señora Flinger, who was looking up at him and holding a small rock in her hand. […]
