Road Trip Roundup
We recently went on a road trip through northern Arizona and Utah. Oh my god you guys! It was AMAZING! I am ready to go back already. Actually, it has inspired me to sell everything and just drive around the country. There is nothing like seeing the country from your car. Sadly we aren’t selling everything and…
Maui: Road to Hana
If you are looking for adventure and happen to be on Maui try the road to Hana. The road to Hana is one of my favorite things to do there and you can see new things each time. There’s waterfalls, beaches, cute little shops, and much more! I’ve done it twice and would love to do it…
Hollywood Hills
Hollywood Hills Back in January of 2017, we took a magical trip to the Hollywood Hills. I say magical because we went to Harry Potter world at Universal Studios.

Haleakala: House of the sun
Haleakala, the volcano that forms most of Maui, means house of the sun. If Maui is one of my favorite places on Earth, Haleakala is my favorite place on Maui. I have been to Maui twice and both times included stops at Haleakala. I think I could spend even more time there just watching the clouds…
Maui the most magical place on Earth
Maui just might be my favorite place. In the world. From the moment we arrived I knew Maui would become my favorite Hawaiian island. This fact was confirmed when we arrived at the hotel, the lobby was gorgeous. And the view from our room wasn’t bad. If you need a hotel in Maui, I would…
Oahu
Oahu has a lot to offer. Oahu was our first stop on our very first trip to Hawaii. Although it is my least favorite of the Hawaiian islands I definitely think it is worth visiting. If I were to go again I would stay on the north shore over Waikiki. I felt Waikiki was just…
