  • My Regina

    I like online shopping, but I know it’s also important to support local businesses.  It was a very blah, grey, cold, dreary (did I mention blah?) Saturday in Regina, and instead of hunkering down on the couch in my comfy pants, it was a let’s shop local kind of day. First up…lunch. Flip Eatery &…

  • Egret, Kaanapali Beach

    Walking to the beach to watch one last sunset over the Pacific Ocean at Kaanapali Beach and this Egret caught my eye….

  • Surfing Goat Dairy

    I like goats. I like goat cheese.  There’s a dairy farm on Maui called Surfing Goat Dairy that makes goat cheese and offers tours of their farm where you can feed the goats – how could we not visit it?  The GPS had other thoughts (you would think it would be impossible to get lost…

  • Ho’okipa Beach, Maui

    Ho’okipa Beach Park, just off the Hana Highway near Paia… It’s the top surfing spot in Maui…if you’re not a surfer, it’s still a really interesting place to stop, so grab lunch to go in Paia and spend some time taking in the scenery.  I have more pictures to share from here, but this is…

  • wine in the rain

    A little drizzle is no problem when this is the view while enjoying a glass of wine on vacation… The wine is a California Pinot Noir, Meiomi 2012, recommended by the bartender at the Castaway Cafe, the restaurant at Maui Kaanapali Villas. It’s not a fancy place, but the food is very good. Much better…

  • toes in the sand, watching a sunset (there’s nowhere else I’d rather be)

    What’s better than sitting on the beach, toes stuck in the sand, listening to the waves, maybe seeing a whale off in the distance, feeling a nice breeze, and watching the sky change before you?  A sunset can be beautiful no matter where you are, but the combination I just described just may be my…

  • spring!

    What a beautiful early spring Sunday! This friendly neighbourhood squirrel certainly looks like it had a good winter and is just as happy it’s spring as we all are… If you’ve visited before, I hope you like the changes to my site.  I’ve been sharing photos, thoughts, and quotes for the past few years now…

  • Haleakala mystery

    Does anyone know what this is? I haven’t been able to figure it out.  I didn’t want to touch it so I don’t know if it was growing there (there were no other plants growing nearby) or more likely the wind blew it there. Whatever the case, I’m always attracted to colour so I was…

  • wonders of Haleakala National Park (with quotes)

    If you are planning a trip to Maui, go to Haleakala National Park!  If you’re not keen on getting up at 3:30 am on vacation to get there in time for sunrise (which is what you will have to do if you’re staying on the west side of the island!), a day trip is worthwhile.…

  • top of the world

    Most, if not all, of the Maui guidebooks will tell you a must-see on your visit to the island is Haleakala National Park, preferably at sunrise. The volcano (which last erupted in the late 1700s) makes up more than 75% of the island and is 1.2 million years old. If you google “Haleakala sunrise” you’ll…

  • morning coffee with a rainbow

    There’s not a better start to a morning than seeing a double rainbow while you drink your morning coffee!  It didn’t take long to figure out to always have a camera beside me while I drank my morning coffee as we saw whales almost every morning from the lanai at Maui Kaanapali Villas, but this…

  • Maui Seaside Hotel

    I enjoy the planning of a trip almost as much as going on the trip itself – researching is fun!  I booked the first night at the Maui Seaside Hotel in Kahului (where Maui’s major airport is located) for a few different reasons. It’s about a 45 minute drive from Kahului to Lahaina and since…
