  • 2017-11-04 Maui Day 6, Return from Hana 🌅🚘🌅

    Today started with the sunrise on the east coast and ended with the sunset on the west coast. In truth, it was less about the trip back from Hana to Kihei and more just about feeling glad to be returning “home”. Our evening in Hana was good, but being on the east coast, once the…

  • 2017-11-03 Maui Day 5, The Hana Edition 🚘

    Today we had our cake and we ate it too! I have often said (and as recently as in the last couple of days) that life is about the journey and not necessarily about the destination. However, our day today proves that it can be BOTH. When we woke up today the plan was to…

  • 2017-11-02 Maui Day 4 🌋

    Of all the things to see and do while in Maui, visiting the volcanic area that is Haleakala was in the top three on my list. I say “was” because as of right now, that’s done and in the rearview. Today we got an earlier start that any day thus far and were on the…

  • 2017-11-01 Maui Day 3 🚧

    We had quite an adventure today. Since we decided to visit the volcano tomorrow, due to the forecast, the plan for the day was pretty open. Z wanted to go to a couple places way up north on the northwest part of the island that she saw on a YouTube video earlier in the year…

  • 2017-10-31 Maui Day 2 🏖️

    Our second full day on Maui is coming to a close and though we had very similar activities to yesterday, the day felt very different. Yesterday we visited two beaches near Kihei. It was very casual and we were just getting acclimated to the ocean waves. Today we travelled north and west and visited two…

  • 2017-10-30 Maui Day 1 🏖️

    Today was a combo between total beach day, relaxation, and planning ahead. This morning I made the kids breakfast and after that I spend a good hour or two planning out our week and talking to the homeowner of the AirBnb we are staying at who has lived here for four years and knows everything…

  • 2017-10-30 Waking Up in Maui 🌺

    I woke up to the sound of roosters crowing. That was about 2AM. They have been at it off and on since then and it’s almost 6AM now. I think the kids are still sleeping though I can’t see how they could given the now almost constant crowing. We are very much in a local…

  • 2017-10-29 On the Move Again ✈️

    We’ve been up since 5. We flew north to Minnesota. We laid over for 2.5 hours.  And now we are on a 8 hour flight to Honolulu. I think this is the longest flight I’ve ever been on. Perhaps Dublin to Atlanta in 2010 was longer, but if was, it wasn’t by much. After this…
