After visiting Maui and Kauai during our honeymoon, our last stop was The Big Island. Coming from Kauai which was so lush and green to Kona is kind of a shock. The landscape is completely different. Given the active volcano on the island, there are lava rocks everywhere. It took us roughly 25 minutes to … Continue reading The Big Island, Hawaii

Kauai, Hawaii
As mentioned in my Maui post, my husband and I visited Hawaii on our honeymoon. The first island we visited was Maui and the second was Kauai. This was by far my favorite island. We took a 45 minute frlight from Maui to Kauai. We picked up our rental car and headed to our hotel, … Continue reading Kauai, Hawaii
Maui, Hawaii
My husband and I went to Hawaii for our honeymoon and the first island we hit was Maui. I highly recommend renting a car while you are there. It's a great way to see the island. We chose to stay at the Hyatt Regency in Lahaina on Ka'anapali Beach. It was a 40 minute drive … Continue reading Maui, Hawaii
Mallorca, Spain
As mentioned earlier, I had the wonderful opportunity of studying abroad in London. Over fall break where many others took that week to travel, my friends and I decided to park ourselves on a beach in Spain. Mallorca - at least at the time - was considered the Cancun of Spain. I've never been to … Continue reading Mallorca, Spain
Interlaken, Switzerland
As I mentioned in previous blogs, I had the wonderful opportunity to "study" abroad in London during college. Looking back, I should have taken advantage of traveling more but I still managed to do quite a bit. The last weekend before we all had to fly back to the states, several friends and I went … Continue reading Interlaken, Switzerland
My Favorite Stroll Through London
I had the wonderful opportunity to "study" in London my junior year in college. I use the term study loosely. I will discuss that in other posts but for now, let me share with you one of my favorite walks I would take when people would visit me. It hits all the major sites. Take … Continue reading My Favorite Stroll Through London
Kennebunkport, ME
My husband and I took a trip to Portland in the fall of 2009. As mentioned in my previous post, Portland was such a charming city. We wanted to venture out to other towns within Maine. This wasn't my first visit but I never got the chance to see Kennebunkport. This was the perfect opportunity. … Continue reading Kennebunkport, ME
Portland, ME
I think Maine is one of the friendliest states in America. I have been there several times as both of my college roommates lived there. I will actually be heading up there again this August 2014 for one of their weddings! When my husband and I lived in Florida, the one thing we missed the … Continue reading Portland, ME
Boulder, CO
As mentioned in my previous posts, my husband and I visited Colorado in November 2012 for the Thanksgiving holiday. After a day/night in Golden, we spent the night in Breckenridge. Click the links to read about those adventures. Side story: I am amazed at how physically active everyone is out in Colorado! Besides the typical … Continue reading Boulder, CO
Breckenridge, CO
As mentioned in my previous post, my husband and I visited Colorado in November 2012. After a day in Golden, we headed "for the mountains." I love how all the locals don't say a specific city (i.e. Aspen, Breckenridge, Vail). They just say "mountains" and everyone nods their head in agreement. It doesn't seem to … Continue reading Breckenridge, CO
