For the record, this isn’t what I wanted to share with you today. But in the interest of actually getting something posted, I had to improvise (let’s just say wifi and technology haven’t been my friends this week!) I could have easily made this picture a Wordless Wednesday post, but it was suggested to me … Continue reading Kilauea
When most people think of Hawaiian beaches, they probably think of something like this: Or perhaps this: But what about something like this? If you’re saying to yourself : “Self, that sand sure looks black,” you would be correct! It is, in fact, a black sand beach (which shouldn’t surprise any one who read Pilgrimage to … Continue reading Colorful Beaches
As you may or may not remember (or read/didn’t read), the Big Island has approximately 790 coffee plantations/farms. Narrowing it down to only one was a rather daunting task, but I did a bit of research and history, looked at only those in the Kona region, and further narrowed it down to those who offered … Continue reading The Actual Pilgrimage
Let me start out this post with a bit of house keeping: Yes, I’m technically late with this posting….although I will argue that it’s still Saturday in Hawaii and since this post is about Hawaii, I’m using that as my justification for the lateness. When writing don’t forget to click save/update frequently, lest you walk … Continue reading The Pilgrimage to (Coffee) Mecca

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 My Cup Runneth Over for Thirsty Thursday
A couple of months before we left for Hawaii, I got a call from BFF. No hi. No hello. Just “do you want to get laid when we land in Honolulu.” Silence. Is this a trick question? I mean, who doesn’t?!?! But I’m taking this trip with BFF, her hubby, and April, so I wasn’t … Continue reading Planning To Get Lei’d
Hello and Happy Monday! That was totally forced. Not because I don’t mean it (I do), but because I’ve been sitting here for almost 30 minutes trying to figure out how to start this post. You may have noticed in my post yesterday a new category: 100 Days of Blogging. If you didn’t notice, don’t … Continue reading 100 Days of Blogging
New York City streets are filled with a lot of things: people, dogs, trash, mysterious things you’re better off not knowing what they are…but my favorite things NYC sidewalks offer are Chalkboard Art. I have ABSOLUTELY NO idea what unicorn tastes like. I have no desire to live a half-life or a cursed one for … Continue reading Chalkboard Art: Unicorn Lattes
