    19 Photos That Will Have You Booking A Trip To The Na Pali Coast

    June 13, 2016 / 6 Comments

    The Na Pali Coast located in Kauai, Hawaii is one of the most beautiful spots in the world. The only way to see these beautiful cliffs are by boat, helicopter, or hiking them. I recently took the Niihau + Napali Super Tour with Holo Holo Charters, and I am in awe at the gorgeous scenery that I saw. Our day started with a rainbow and a safety briefing from the awesome crew who gave incredible service and took extreme care of our safety the entire day. From the minute the boat started sailing, we had spinner dolphins surround our boat which made the day special from the very beginning. The boat slowed down…

    The Fern Grotto Inn: Kauai Cottages To Make You Sigh

    June 12, 2016 / No Comments

    While visiting Kauai, along with staying on the North shore on the beach, I also stayed at the quaint Fern Grotto Inn. I absolutely adored it. First of all, I love cottages, and at Fern Grotto Inn, I had my own cottage, staying in Canal Cottage A. It was such a wonderful alternative to staying in a big resort or a hotel. I also am so glad I got to stay near the Fern Grotto and the town of Kapaa (on the East side of the island) for a few nights, as there was such beautiful nature in the area, and Kapaa is full of wonderful restaurants to dine at.…

    Where To Stay In Kauai: Hanalei Colony Resort

    June 10, 2016 / 1 Comment

    From the minute I walked into my condo at the Hanalei Colony Resort, I was in awe. The ocean waves crashed upon the shore just steps from my door. The tradewinds blew through my room reminding me that I was indeed in Hawaii. If you’re wondering where to stay in Kauai, and you are looking for a condo, you can’t do better than the Hanalei Colony Resort. Where To Stay In Kauai: Hanalei Colony Resort The tropical, Hawaiian-style furnishings are beautiful, the bed comfortable and inviting. There was also a second bedroom with a twin daybed and a second bathroom, so there is a lot of room in the 850-square foot condo.…

    The Equus Hotel Waikiki: A Honolulu Boutique Hotel

    June 8, 2016 / No Comments

    The Equus Hotel Waikiki is located on the quiet side of Waikiki, right on Ala Moana Blvd. This is the home of the Hawai‘i Polo Club where polo matches, polo lessons and spectacular trail rides become available to hotel guests. It’s a locally owned hotel, something you don’t find much of anymore in Honolulu, and this fact really shows up in the service from the friendly staff. You really feel the aloha spirit here and that the staff will do anything to make sure you have a comfortable stay. Location Of The Equus Hotel This hotel is conveniently located just a few minutes walk to Ala Moana Center, the main…

    Waikiki Condos: Darmic Waikiki Banyan Review

    June 7, 2016 / No Comments

    If you’re planning a dream vacation to Hawaii, and looking for Waikiki condos, I can tell you that Darmic Waikiki Banyan is a perfect choice. I just enjoyed a lovely four nights there, and I’d recommend it to anyone. These self-catering one bedroom condos have everything you need for a vacation to Hawaii. The thing I loved most about the condo was the location. It was a short one block walk to Waikiki Beach, and yet, I was never disturbed by noise, something that is hard to find in Waikiki. All of the condos at Darmic Waikiki Banyan are one-bedroom, and the condo was much larger than I expected. The…

About Me

I am always looking for the perfect escape, the perfect paradise, the kind of place that tosses your cares into the sea. Fortunately, I have discovered many! I created this site to show you where to go and how to get there. My goal is to show you that Paradise is only a plane ticket (or boat ride) away. I have inspired many others to travel and to create a better life. I am available for inspirational speaking, coaching, writing, travel planning, and photography.
