Some of you are probably wondering how this whole Argentina trip came about. I admit, it wasn’t on my radar at the start of this year. I hadn’t been dreaming, dying to go or planning it out for ages. It actually didn’t come about until a few days after my birthday when the girl holding [...]

My mind and eyes are on several different maps at the moment, so if I seem a bit disoriented these days -ho hum. It’s all part of the organizational process needed to plan these great escapes. I thought I sort of had trip planning for Argentina all worked out, but I think Nats and I [...]

This is one of the many views of the mountains within Glacier National park. This photo and all the others can not do the justice it deserves. This is a place that must be seen live, with your own eyes and in the flesh. The crisp, fresh, air must be inhaled in person. I do [...]

Rarely do I get excited from being tagged in goofy Facebook photos, but I was overjoyed when Basia tagged me in this one today. Her caption read as follows: “Premiera w National Geographic juz 14 maja! Sama nie mogę w to uwierzyć!” Basically this article will be appearing in National Geographic’s Polish version. Basia was [...]

You may already know this about me. I like to eat. In Kauai, as it so happens, I managed to eat a lot. The most pleasing items to my palate were the frozen treats. There were no real stand-outs on my little dining tour, but lots of ‘A’ for effort and interesting pieces with much [...]

This is me doing the typical tourist thing. Photo: The Other During the last full day of Hawaiian fun in Kauai, we took the time to explore various small attractions. You could call it that last tourist crawl to cram in all the last goodies before departure day. On our agenda this particular day were [...]

Our 5th day on the island consisted first with a very unexciting move from the wonderful Palmwood Inn to the Marriott Resort in Lihue. Because it really isn’t worth mentioning, I’m going to skip talking about the construction right under our balcony / garden view room and get straight to the good stuff. Check in [...]

Before reaching the Limahuli Garden in Ha’ena, in the northern part of Kaua’i, we caught a glimpse of another beautiful beach and hit the brakes. This day wasn’t intended to be a beach day for us, but we couldn’t pass on spending at least 10 minutes at Tunnels. After we’d had our fill and handstands [...]

Standing in front of the Kayak Kaua’i building after my first time kayaking ever! Regardless of how much Dayo jokes about my not really getting too far with my “poor” paddling techniques, I know that I am a kayaking champion. In my mind I am great and have conquered the easy flowing Wailua River like [...]

The Palmwood Inn as seen around the road on our Easter morning walk. There are only two notable things that took place on Easter Sunday during our stay in Kaua’i. (Possibly more, but I’m just not going to note them.) Because we expected Easter to be a bit quieter we kept our schedule to chill [...]
