    Kona Condos: This Big Island Rental Will Make You Not Want To Go Home

    June 15, 2016 / No Comments

    If you’re planning on a vacation to the Big Island of Hawaii, there are a lot of Kona condos to choose from. I highly recommend staying at this rental  at the Kona Isles Condos. The oceanfront location right on Alii Drive is perfect. The corner unit on the ground floor is so relaxing and peaceful. I found myself not wanting to leave the condo because the beach in front has such soothing waves. I loved falling asleep to them each night and waking up to them each morning. I even got lucky and saw dolphins go by one morning which was an incredible experience. This Kona condos location is within walking…

    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.…

    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…

    May 24, 2016 / No Comments

    When you’re traveling, there is nothing like arriving at a hotel that makes you feel like it is a home away from home. Indeed, that is exactly what I felt when I arrived at Hotel Kerameion, an apartment hotel in Athens. Stavros, the owner, was kind enough to meet me where the taxi had to drop me off, and even to carry my luggage for me. He immediately made me feel welcome, and even helped me with getting some laundry started even though it was pretty late at night when I arrived. He even helped me carry my luggage to the taxis upon my departure. I felt like he was…

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.
