Recounting my adventures old and new.
I am now fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and am overjoyed that it seems it will soon be safe to travel once again! I can’t wait to plan and take my first big post-pandemic trip!
The trip plans section of my blog is live and is accessible from the main menu! Here I list itineraries both of trips I’ve already taken, and of ones I hope to take in the future. These are nuts-and-bolts, picture-less itineraries to help you plan your own dream vacations.

I drove past lots of beach resorts and (after I eventually ascended 1000+ feet) coffee farms. I eventually wound up at an X-intersection with State Highway 11 above Kealakekua Bay, but… Continue reading Hawaii May 2021, Day 3: a hidden gem restaurant, a painted church, and a safe haven
Hawaii May 2021, Day 3: snorkeling with dolphins, tropical fruit, and shave ice!
On my last morning in Kailua-Kona, I strolled down past Jackie Rey’s (though I had driven the night before, it wasn’t that far) to the exquisite Tea:licious Cafe for breakfast.

I hadn’t planned on it, but they were both so insanely good I got… Continue reading Hawaii May 2021, Day 3: snorkeling with dolphins, tropical fruit, and shave ice!
