A Rainy Day in Kauai

The weather forecast doesn’t look good at all! While waiting for 8 am to call the tour company, we prepared our frozen dinners as breakfast haha! I called Mauna Loa Helicopters and asked about my scheduled tour at 1:30 pm – she said she’ll need to wait for the pilot to make the decision as condition…

Kauai – the Garden Isle

Happy New Year! We started off our New Year heading to Kauai – the Garden Isle. Our flight was at 8:43 am and we got there at 7 am. Early morning in the open-air airport of Big Island, it was a bit chilly so take your sweater or hoodie with you! We sat near the…

Big Island Farmers’ Market

Wednesday is the farmers’ market day throughout the island! Some places even have on Saturday as well such as the big Hilo’s Farmers Market every Saturday and Wednesday! We had thought about going to Hilo but at the end decided it was not worth the trip across from Kona to Hilo. We woke up pretty…

Christmas Eve at Honolulu!

Dreaming of a white Christmas? Yep, we had a white Christmas but with white sand instead of white snow! After almost a year of planning (well booking in advanced), we were back to Hawaii for the 2nd time and what was better was: we spent Christmas and New Year in Hawaii! Where shall I begin…
