Top 10 Places I Have Been
The final installment of the theme "The Top 10 Places I Have Been" is my list. Some are very specific and others are general, hopefully you will find a place or two you might enjoy from the list. I would give a nod to Switzerland as an honorable mention, but I've really only been to one city there so felt it wasn't really an accurate depiction. Read more
Kauai-An Old Friend with New Treasures
When you travel sometimes you really want to explore new things and other times you want to "put on the comfortable slippers and stay at home". For us traveling to Kauai is like putting on the comfortable slippers. We have been here numerous times and yet it never seems to grow old as a place we like to enjoy and relax. Read more
Kauai
For those who have read my column in the past you know I have been to Kauai many times as I own a timeshare on Poipu. So seldom do I go and find new things to talk about, but not this trip. I guess it all goes to show change is a part of everything and every place and there are always new things to explore.

Fun in the Sun-Kauai Revisited
Today we were treated to some unexpected visitors at the Poipu beach, considered one of the best by the Travel Channel. It appears as though we weren’t the only ones who wanted to enjoy the sun, we had a sea turtle and a Hawaiian monk seal come in to lounge on the beach. The volunteer who was helping to rope off the beach, said it happens frequently, although this was the first time I have seen the turtle on the beach. I have seen a monk seal on Oahu but not Kauai. The volunteer also let us know, the sea turtles live to 80 years old and this one was probably 60 years old. The Hawaiian green sea turtles are also endangered. Read more
Malasada's in Kauai
We've gone from the glitz and glam our of Las Vegas to the Garden Isle of Kauai, Hawaii, where relaxation is king. I have been to Kauai four times over the past 6 years. It has been 3 years since I have been on the island and I must say the changes have been pretty vast.
With the surf being higher than normal in the Poipu area, it brought out surfers from the entire island.
Kauai chickens run freely everywhere and are am emblem of this island. Read more
