Florida Spring Part I – Family friendly major league baseball spring training and why we decided to avoid Disney
Our early spring trip to Florida avoided most of the intense crowds, featured excellent weather and offered up some of the best non-Disney fun in the Orlando area and South Florida. What more can you ask for?
Going to Maui? Part VIII – Going to Hawaii and a nutshell; return trip guaranteed!
The passage of time will begin to restore more of what made western Maui a special place to go, well worth the effort and expense. Right now, it’s still a terrific destination, one I’m very fond of and hope to get back to… someday.
Going to Maui? Part VII – Hana highway substitute offers views without the carsickness; plus, Maui Wine
For those searching for a Road-to-Hana-like experience without the intense time commitment and logistical challenges, consider driving to the north side of Maui along the far western route to view the Nakalele Blowhole.
Going to Maui? Part VI – Hana Highway is as bad – or as awesome – as you want it to be
Having visited Maui a number of times over the years, I’d never yet taken the infamous “Road to Hana”. Maui veterans had cautioned against it even though the scenery is breathtaking in spurts and, contrary to storied reputation, you can find human-maintained stopping points on the journey.
Going to Maui? Part V – Beer on the beach and the hipp(-i-)est town on Maui’s north shore!
Microbrews on Kaanapali Beach and “Hippy-town” pizza on Maui’s north shore. Good eats and great times at the Maui Brewing Company and the Flatbread Pizza Company (in Paia).
