Tuesday, July 8th, 2008Everyone’s worried about the US economy, and rightfully so, but the travel and tourism industry has been attempting to be proactive regarding potential financial losses. And - good for us - that can only benefit travel lovers.
One of my favorite current travel deals helps travelers stretch their Kauai vacation dollars. Kauai is one of the [...]

Family Fun: Surf City USA
Saturday, June 28th, 2008Greetings from Surf City USA! This is the first stop of our West Coast Swing Road Trip. I’m sitting on my 11th floor balcony directly overlooking the Pacific Ocean at the Hilton Waterfront Beach Resort. It’s still early as I write this so the beach is deserted except for the occasional treasure hunter and hardcore [...]
Winning Wednesday: William Joseph CD
Wednesday, June 25th, 2008Italy, Hawaii, Australia, Alaska, Ireland, Paris, and tropical getaways seem to be tops on everyone’s list of dream places to visit.
The last time someone mentioned to me that they dreamed of going to Australia, I encouraged her to go. It happened to be my cousin, who came back after a two week tour to sell her condo [...]
The Best Luau in Hawaii Isn’t a Luau After All
Tuesday, June 24th, 2008Luaus are a staple of Hawaiian vacations. Many hotels and resorts, on most parts of the major islands, either have on-site luaus or provide shuttle service to them. Several boast of having the best luau in Hawaii. And, frankly, many luaus are interchangeable. Sure, one has more fire-twirling than another, say, but the buffet dinners [...]
Weekend Road Trip: The Arizona Salsa Trail
Sunday, June 22nd, 2008A few weeks back my husband and I decided to load up the tots and take a little jaunt over to Safford, Arizona and explore an Arizona culinary attraction: The Salsa Trail. The “trail” runs along Southeast Arizona’s Old West Highway and consists of thirteen restaurants, a tortilla factory and a chile factory.
When we pulled [...]
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 [...]
Molokai Sunset on Papohaku Beach
Thursday, June 5th, 2008While I’m not even going to attempt to be as beautifully poetic as DesertMama was in her eloquent post about the break of dawn on Kaua’i, I did want to share with you my experience watching the sunset on a deserted beach on the west end of Molokai.
Hawaii’s sixth-largest island, Molokai is known as the [...]
Mama on the Move - Hawaii Hiking to Petroglyphs
Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008Like millions of other Americans, I recently saw the new Indiana Jones movie, and I’ve been feeling a little ‘adventure-y” ever since. Looking over my map of the Big Island in Hawaii, I saw the perfect hiking opportunity to satisfy my outdoor adventure jones (no pun intended) by exploring the Puako Petroglyph Archeological Preserve, very [...]
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 [...]
