Yellowstone, Montana – 2020 (Yellowstone National Park)

September 10, 2020 – September 13, 2020

Today we got up and packed our stuff again and headed to Yellowstone National Park for three days.

We saw every possible sight that could be seen. I have a picture down below of the map and everything we did is circled.

Maui, Hawaii

March 3rd – 7th, 2017

Today we flew from the Big Island to Maui which was a short flight. We rented a car and drove to the Westin Hotel where we were meeting up with our friend Nano Lopez. There is nothing negative that I can say about Hawaii it’s one of my favorite places to visit. We try and go to Oahu at least once a year. I believe if it weren’t so far away from Florida we would go more often. We love driving around there and eating at the many food trucks.

The rest of the time we were in Maui we just drove around and found these hidden pockets where we would walk into bamboo trees and hike to many hidden waterfalls. That is one thing that Hawaii isn’t short of magnificent sunsets/sunrises and waterfalls.

One of the evening’s our friend Nano who is an artist was having a show at one of the galleries downtown which was great we got to meet a lot of people who love his work as much as we do.

One thing to bring with you are watershoes they are more comfortable to hike and walk on wet rocks. Unfortunately, this was our last stop on this trip.

Big Island, Hawaii

February 28, 2017 
Today we flew from Oahu to the Big Island a.k.a Hawaii Island which is a short flight. We rented a car as soon as we got there and started our long drive to the King’s Land Hilton Hotel.

We got settled in and decided to take a ride to a local supermarket to get some provisions since our villa had a full kitchen and dining room we decided to make dinner a few of the nights were there.

March 01, 2017
Today we had a helicopter ride scheduled to see the lava flow which we were lucky to see because they aren’t sure how long it’s going to flow. The helicopter ride was terrific the lush greenery, the beautiful waterfalls and seeing the lava flow was just fabulous. Once again we made a delicious dinner in our suite.

March 02, 2017
Today we just decided to drive around the island and do a little bit of hiking and a lot of sightseeing. One of the most amazing things that we ate was a Portuguese donut called Malasada. It was so good that I am still thinking about it today, and I will revisit the Big Island purposely to get it again. We had dinner at this local place at the Lava Lava Beach Club since we had to pack and get ready for our flight to Maui in the morning we didn’t want to hassle with making dinner again.

Follow us on our journey the next destination is Maui, Hawaii

Apia, Samoa

February 01, 2015

Today we had a scenic drive of Apia, lush green forests, waterfalls, plantations and traditional Samoan villages.  We got a chance to see Falefa falls.  We had a great barbecue lunch served on Tafatafa Beach, with cultural entertainment by Aggie Grey Dance Troupe.  After lunch, John and a few other guests went snorkeling.  The beach was once again beautiful with white sand and crystal clear water.

We boarded our tour bus and drove along Upolu’s southwest coast where we saw another waterfall called Sopo’aga Falls which cascades into an old volcanic crater.  We also visited Sopo’aga Botanical Garden.

Follow us on our journey the next destination is Lautoka, Fiji.
