It’s dark and I’m asleep. Roar of thunder wakes me. Lightning flashes and it’s as bright as day again. I go outside and see light rain is falling and wind whips the leaves. Every so often I see jagged lightning bolts flash between the clouds. I feel alive as the wind blows around me and […]

Wailua River Guides
I remember the last time I hiked to a waterfall. Back in my college days our photo class got together for field trips. We took photos of each other in the water. There wasn’t much water in San Diego so the waterfall was really small. Secret Falls was quite different. The quantity of water is […]
JoJo’s Shave Ice
This place came highly recommended so it was on our ‘must do’ list. Hands down by far some of the best shave ice I’ve had since the Big Island. They make their own syrup with pure cane sugar and Hawaiian made flavoring, plus homemade creams. Only state of the art shave ice machines […]

Anini Beach Park

WorldMark Kapaa Shore
Waves crash against the shore drowning out most other noises. We are separated from the ocean by the pool and a small strip of sand. View of the ocean is amazing from up on the third floor. I watched as light of the sun began to illuminate the darkness and it appeared from the […]
Farmer Boys / Breakfast Burgers & More
This is another joint post. Please be kind include both writers in your comments. Thanks. First portion written by Soo I remember the orange groves and the green leafy vegetables. When I was a kid we drove through Escondido to get to the Wild Animal Park. Out the car window fruits and veggies grew in […]
