Where’s Your Dream Vacation?

Aloha! Thank you for being patient with me while I sort through the mounds of back work, and catch up on everything that has happened since my last post. Things are finally falling back into “normality” around here, and it’s time to continue on! So let’s get started! First, I want to (again) say thank …

Lana’i high …

Aloha, everyone!  During the last two weeks, I’ve experienced a great “high” and several “lows” … pretty volatile, I’d say!  I’m just going to tell you about the “high” … I celebrated my birthday with my family and some close friends over on the island of Lana’i this past weekend.  It was one of the …
