« Previous Entries Next Entries »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 [...]
Interview with a Traveling Mama: Sascha Stokes
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
