Sisbehaving Adventure Time As previously mentioned, my husband and I left Maui and spent a couple of days on Oahu. We flew back to Maui early in the morning and grabbed Peggy to head out for our sisbehaving adventure time.  My husband has grown accustomed to this and is fairly well versed in staying out of harm’s way.  We knew that we wanted to check a few boxes that were off the beaten path, and the Nakalele Blowhole was first on that list.  Now, if you aren’t familiar with blowholes (yes, I’m going to giggle every single time I use the term blowhole), it’s a gamble whether it will be…

Maybe this isn’t a secret, maybe it was just me who was in the dark? In all of my previous trips to Maui, I had never heard of Iao Valley State Park. But this might be the most easily accessible, most stunningly beautiful spot on the island. When you plan a trip to Maui, you do your research, you plan your excursions.

And Peggy was coming along to help watch the grandbaby, so we were off. Pat and I decided if we were doing a “most…

A helicopter flight had long been on my bucket list. To make it really “worth it”, it had to be someplace stunningly beautiful and inaccessible by ground transportation. So when my daughter asked us to come to Hawaii with them this spring, I knew the time had come. I was booking a Maui Helicopter Tour! Researching Maui Helicopter Tours As usual, you know I did my research! There are a few helicopter tour operators and they each offer multiple destinations and durations.
