The scenic route. A Big Island, Hawaii road trip.
On our last day on the Big Island, we took a drive, a Hawaii road trip, and veered off onto what the road signs appropriately called the "scenic route." After leaving Hilo, we stopped for a quick hike on Onomea Bay Trail. We visited the...

Life List #101: Get lei’d in Hawaii.
If there is one thing that an adolescent addiction to family sitcoms had taught me (and, lets face it, it taught me many things), it is that in Hawaii they hand out leis like they're going out of style. You arrive at the airport: you...

A whale of a tail.
Some months ago, my friend Jen asked me if I wanted to come to Hawaii with her for her 30th birthday. Considering the fact that my birthday just happens to be the day after hers that meant that I too would then be spending my...
