1. K/T's detailed pages and organization make it easy to find beautiful and serene places to call your own for a while. The rural eye-candy at Hanalei Organic Park, for instance, is a one-minute drive from the hubbub of a similar view at a paved turn...

The Hana Highway—with its umpteen one-lane bridges, countless curves, rain forests, and waterfalls—is a rite of passage for Maui visitors. In fact, if you begin the journey at prime time, say 10 in the morning, you are likely to be in a conga lin...

Maui has the fewest open trails among the Hawaiian Islands, so these hikes on the lower slopes of Haleakala are a find. You can choose several options in the Makawao Forest Reserve on the Kahakapao Loop trail, racking up about 6.5 miles and gaining a...

Where did the time go?! I realize I haven’t blogged much this past little while. Between a laptop computer that isn’t cutting it speed wise, (upgrade ahead!) and lazy wifi, and… well, the overwhelming amount of pictures to weed thro...

Aloha from Hawaii! If you don’t happen to follow IBC across social media (which I understand because social media can be the worst sometimes), you might not know that I’ve been on the island of Maui in Hawaii since last Friday. As I allud...

Someone made a comment on a post that was something to the effect of, “Why are you even working? Just enjoy!” She was absolutely right. I was still in high productive mode, having not settled into any routine of sorts while here in Maui.

First off, I’d like to thank you so very much for all your kind words and well wishes on the post ‘why we came back’. I was having a rough moment (yes, in paradise it’s possible!) and your kindness positively lifted me up...

If someone were to tell you that they were going on a very long vacation, would that make you jealous? I’d be the first to say a big fat YES. It would! Who wouldn’t want to venture off to far off places, with the promise of new adventures...

The Hana Highway is an adventure unto itself. And then there's Hana Town to explore. And, farther down the road, are the Pools of Oheo in the coastal section of Haleakala National Park. With all that, it's no wonder many visitors run out of time and...

Makena State Park, south of Kihei-Wailea draws hoards of visitors, without ever managing to seem crowded. There's plenty of elbow room in the safe near-shore waters, if you don't mind being joined by schools of tropical fish and the occasional sea tu...

Almost all tourists join the conga line of rental cars on the southeast shore of Maui along the twisty Hana Highway. Far fewer challenge the wild north shore on Highway 30 through Kahakuloa Village and the cliffside swerves of the windward northeast...

The colors of the sea, sky, and island swirl in a mix of blues and greens—and just when you've got it figured, along comes a cloud and the photo changes. And it's time to begin another long look. From Kikaua Point Park in South Kohala on the Big Is...

This past December, I took my mom on a trip to Maui - it was a trip that I won on an Instagram contest from Expedia. Yes, people do win contests! This is proof! But keep in mind you'd have to pay taxes on it ... that caught me by surprise this ta...

Am I a Hawaiian novice? I don’t think so. I’ve been to Hawaii as many times as I have fingers (minus the thumbs). And I was just in Maui in February so I know how to do beach days like a pro. So what if I got sunburned horribly and almost broke m...

Decades ago, southwest Maui was dubbed the "Gold Cost" by real estate copywriters, as a string of condos and resorts sprung up along the shoreline. To be honest, it seemed sort of tacky. But now, as the contstruction cranes seemed to outnumber palm t...

I bounced up from the bed like a spring. I was confused. Dazed. “We’re going streaking!!!” That was all I could hear. Where am I? What am I? Is this a dream? Or a nightmare? I hope I didn’t pee on the bed. Those were my exact thoughts. “5:0...

One: Twin Falls Botanical Preserve, at the beginning of the Hana Highway, is on the tourist radar, but you can find places to call your own. There are actually a half-dozen falls with swimming pools, most of which visitors never see.Two: Baldwin Beac...

Lato nas w tamtym roku solidnie rozpieszczało, temperatura sięgała najwyższych kresek na Naszych termometrach, W takie dni stawiamy raczej na lekkie zapachowe mgiełki niż na ciężkie perfumy. Chcemy pachnieć świeżo, słodko i ponętnie. Dzi...
