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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Welcome! Photo: Adrienne C. Wilson Funny how some free attractions can offer far more to the visitor than those which charge a fee. TECO’s (Tampa Electric Company) Manatee Viewing Center is certainly worth getting off I-75 at Big Bend Rd to check out. Now that I’m practically in the neighborhood and with temperatures being a [...]

I’m calling 2009 “The Hodge Podge Year,” because there is really no better way to describe it. From work to play it is obvious I was all over the place. (Still not sure how I feel about the year, but it is over now.) There was definitely a lot of downtime and my working 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 [...]

Maasai. Photo: Adrienne C. Wilson Who goes to the land of the Big Five and doesn’t go on safari? I do. I did. I am only a little bitter about the situation. At this very moment I type with my eyes closed. Man. Photo: Adrienne C. Wilson Envisioning the day where I can recount the [...]

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 [...]
