DON’T WORRY…this is not another food post, I promise. What?!? We’re in the middle of a pandemic and nothing makes you realize how mundane and cyclical your diet is like staying at home and self-isolating for four months. This then leads to the realization that you need to spice up things with more bacon and … Continue reading Never Bow To Customs Agents
I guess it’s no surprise that today is National Champagne Day. According to WalletHub and International Business Times, an average of 360 million glasses of bubbly is drunk today and 25% of all champagne/sparkling wines are sold between Christmas and New Years (sidenote: these numbers are from the early 2010s but research is very scarce … Continue reading The Best Vinegar I Ever Drank
Time is a funny thing. It is a slippery slope, especially to me, who puts the “pro” in procrastinate. It always feels like I have all the time in the world and then bam! three weeks have passed and I’m still in the exact same place, with the exact same things on my To-Do list, … Continue reading Time
Life is funny. Recently, I went back home to Texas for a visit, which conveniently coincided with Jeff (having won last month’s challenge) setting this month’s challenge as Environment. Hailing from the Texas Hill Country Appellation, I mentally began creating bullet points about the environment of the Texas Hill Country Appellation and which wineries … Continue reading MWWC 36: Environment
One of the most lush and densely forested places we visited was the Fern Grotto. The only way to access it (at least for tourists, but perhaps also workers) was by boat. It is located in the the Wailua State Park, about 2 miles inland up the Wailua River (the only navigable river in Hawaii). … Continue reading Fern Grotto
As previously mentioned, our last day we decided to put some miles on the rental car and see where the open road would take us. Not this open road. But the one that follows this map (courtesy of Lonely Planet!): We started in Poipu (southern most tip)–as that’s where we stayed. We drove to Lihue … Continue reading Around-ish The Island
In trying to find pictures for Throwback Thursday, I realized I have a lot of pictures of adult beverages (that is said with pride, by the way!). As such, I’ve decided that rather than share pictures of me with bad 80s hair and glasses that legitimately covered half my face, I could easily share glasses … Continue reading Thirsty Thursday To A Tea…
Despite my first two ill fated attempts at snorkeling, I was willing to try again. I figured if there was anywhere in the world where I might have a good snorkeling experience, it was Hawaii. Just FYI: if you’re searching for snorkeling in Hawaii, there are a plethora of options. We chose one that included more … Continue reading Third Time’s A Charm!
…just don’t feed the nēnēs! Yeah, I know it’s corny–but I have approximately 12 minutes to post something, I’m not even home yet, and my brain is a bit fried. Plus, every time I see this sign that song gets stuck in my head…. But since I’m also feeling the need to be educational: the … Continue reading Watch Me Whip…
It wouldn’t be a Hawaiian vacation if you didn’t spend at least a little time at the beach. We debated about when/where we wanted our beach day to be (aside from our quick trips to the Black and Green sand beaches). Ultimately, we decided that it might be a nice break towards the end of … Continue reading Shipwreck…
