For our first day on the Hawaiian island of Kaua’i, we decided to do a helicopter tour of the island. Being but a speck in the entire Pacific Ocean and considering there is a good chunk of the island that can only be seen by air or by sea, the helicopter ride was a must. [...]

Guess who’s back and with a semi-decent tan? That would be me. My 7-day escape to paradise was as exciting and enjoyable as they come. I plan on posting more trip photos this week, but wanted to share a few posts I’ve already added to my Trazzler profile. The Trazzler posts include snippets from the [...]

Men ride inside and atop of a tap-tap down the road in Haiti. Photo: Adrienne C. Wilson If God is love or if he ever knew love, it wouldn’t seem so for many of us based off the way he repeatedly torments Haiti. Trust though that there are people so devastated and bewildered by the [...]

I know. Haiti isn’t the first place to come to mind when pondering a tropical getaway which is why I decided to write about it for this particular Trazzler writing contest. (No, it isn’t the pity vote or the sympathy vote.) When I sat down to think of all the islands I’ve been to I [...]

While I was in Kenya, my horizon decided to get sick with the swine flu or whatever. The camera just stopped working and it was easy to see the film advance knob was stuck. There was no turning it clockwise or otherwise. This was a big time downer of a situation. When I returned home [...]

For your viewing pleasure I’ve included six videos related to Kenya. The top two are directly related to my trip. In the first, I briefly describe my trip and in the second I’ve pieced together some of the footage captured while sitting in the car. The subsequent videos were plucked from YouTube for various reasons; [...]

Maasai Market at the Yaya. Photos: K.D. My travels in the East African country of Kenya are prize worthy. If there isn’t already a t-shirt that says, “I Survived the Kenya,” then I shall make one. From the trenches of the global village site to African time to bargaining for the best price to random [...]

Today I will begin my peregrination to a locale far away from my home. Although I’ll be helping to build homes in Kisii, Kenya, my heart will always have its place on my own turf. Without the strong support and love from my family and friends here at home, this journey would be nearly impossible. [...]
