On Friday, February 6th, we changed rooms. As the condo folks promised to move our things, we packed everything up and left for the day. We headed north through Waimea so we could look at the lovely Waipi’o Valley, the Valley of Kings. On a clear day you can see Maui. It was clear. Sure … Continue reading Big Island Time

She must have really had some entrepreneurial spunk. Our plan was to visit a botanical garden. And we did, not the one we visited 8 years ago, … Continue reading Hilo, There And Back Again

Here’s a pic I stole from the internet so you can see for yourself. When you lived in San Francisco … Continue reading Sunday Brunches of the Past
Heading north on 101 shortly after the little town of Klamath is a turn off called Requa Road. The narrow road follows the Klamath river and then winds steeply up until you come to a parking lot with picnic tables and a view that goes on forever. Take your binoculars, as this area is also … Continue reading Requa Road Overlook
It’s the Holidays! What can I say? I had plans to transcribe my journal and post lots of travel details. BUT… We got back from our lovely cruise and had Christmas Cards waiting for us.
