Kalanikai Bed & Breakfast at Kalaheo

Brad and Billy were the perfect hosts. This was our first Kauai vacation, and we had found out about the Kalaniakai Bed & Breakfast from friends. We weren’t originally looking for the clothing optional experience, and when we found out that it was it made us think twice. We took some time and decided that […]

Bamboo Jungle House, Kalaheo

We looked at a lot of Kauai hotels and then decided that we needed something fun and different for this Kauai vacation, so we picked the Bamboo Jungle House. At first, Mimi thought it might be one of those places for swingers or something, but after a little research we found that it was actually […]

It hadn’t been a good year money-wise, but we had promised each other last year that we would take a break and take that Kauai vacation that had been lingering around in our brains for the last decade or so. We looked at Kauai hotel options, and decided that […]

This was a break or a retreat for me, so this was not like the usual Kauai vacations I’ve taken in the past. I did look over Kauai hotels, but decided I needed a break from the stresses of day to day, and I decided to look into the Aloha […]

Our Maui vacation was the best one we ever took. We went with Jose and Maria, and they had picked the Paki Maui. We let them do the picking, because this was their fourth Maui vacation and they knew Maui hotels. We both got ocean front rooms and […]

28th Annual Greek Festival 2008 in Honolulu, Hawaii (including videos)

One of my most favorite and “can’t-wait-for” events in Hawaii is the annual Greek festival that takes place at the end of August at the McCoy Pavilion at Ala Moana Beach Park.
This year’s festival again featured lots of Greek music, Greek food and of course Greek Ouzo that contributed to the good mood of the […]

Aloha Friday at Hilton Hawaiian Village’s Tapa Bar in Waikiki (including video)

We sat down on one of the couches and the first question […]
