Tuesday, June 10th, 2008Last year, when visiting the Stonehenge area, I had the pleasure of meeting up with my UK travel writing friend, Sascha Stokes. I arrived the day before she was due with her first child.
I recently caught up with Sascha to see how her life and travels have changed, now that she is a traveling mama. [...]
Discover Maui’s Upcountry
Friday, June 6th, 2008DesertMama and I decided to relax during our visit to Westin Maui Resort and Spa. The two of us spent a day enjoying lomi lomi massages at The Heavenly Spa while the other Mamas went hiking. We found out that the lavender spa products being sold were made right there on Maui. So we hopped [...]
Surreal. Magical. A Kaua’i Sunrise.
Monday, June 2nd, 2008I sat up straight in bed, jarred from a deep sleep, and looked around the Kaha Lani Resort bedroom. What was that noise? There was enough light coming through the windows to tell dawn was approaching. I heard “it” again, now realizing “it” was Mother Nature’s colorful alarm clock. I lay down, but it crowed [...]
Mama on the Move: Segway of Hawaii
Sunday, June 1st, 2008The other night I strolled along Waikiki Beach with my local friend Jeanne whom I met a few years ago. We watched the fireworks at Hilton Hawaiian Village that occurs almost every Friday night. I noticed a bunch of people on Segways and they looked like they were having a blast. So, I went [...]
Good, Big Eats at Kahuna Kabobs in Lahaina, Maui
Saturday, May 31st, 2008After our morning of adventure the other day on West Maui, Mudslide Mama and I were hungry, so we stopped in Lahaina on our return trip to the Westin Maui. No, we didn’t backtrack on that super crazy, cliff-hugging road. We took the “safe” way back, turning inland and then skirting the west coast back [...]

Since both of us like to hike, Mudslide Mama and I asked our [...]
Family Travel: A Great Child-friendly Luxury Resort in Maui
Thursday, May 29th, 2008Let’s face it, there are a lot of hotels in the Westin family (owned by Starwood). We’ve been to some that are just fine; nothing wrong but nothing to write home about. And now, we’ve experienced the Westin Maui Resort & Spa, in Hawaii. This is, truly, an outstanding hotel, and great for family travel. The [...]
Teen Queen For The Day
Monday, May 26th, 2008I feel so lucky to have a little girl. She’s only two, but recently she has gotten into playing dress up. She tromps around in her too-big princess shoes, lacy dresses, clip-on earrings and fancy purse on her shoulder. She announces to her father and I that she is “The King”. I cherish these moments [...]
