The long road home

It’s been two months since we left Maui and I’ve been trying to write this post for weeks. It’s been hard, because along the way I had more questions than answers to give about our adventure, but the words began to come recently and so I finally have an update to share. It was mid […]Read Post ›

Maui, how do you say goodbye?

When the dust settled on our decision to move our family from Maui to California I  a cocktail of emotions more layered than a Merriman’s mai tai.  Excitement, anticipation and my old friend wanderlust piled right up on top of nostalgia, sadness and the fear of regret. Logic was on the side of moving, calculating […]Read Post ›

The Sweet Life

There are places on this earth that are so special and so entirely perfect in their own way that a million words could not describe them. Corn Islands, Nicaragua is one of these places. A paradise within a paradise, a place that time forgot to change, two lovely islands that I will never forget. We […]Read Post ›

A week in Granada

Well, I’m just a tad late writing this post considering our week in Granada was over a month ago, but better late than never, right? Early one February morning we woke up in Ometepe, packed our bags for about the hundreth time, and headed across the lake to the sun baked colonial town of Granada. […]Read Post ›

Nica Living!

We have crossed the border in to our third and final country, Nicaragua! Sadie’s passport has the first few of many stamps, and I can proudly say she is a well seasoned traveler! Long bus rides barely phase her, she gives her smile freely to strangers speaking in foreign languages and loves exploring all the […]Read Post ›

Heaven on Earth

There are many cliche things I could say about the last few weeks. Paradise found, la vida dulce, heaven on Earth… Ever since we crossed over to the Pacific coast of Central America we have been stunned by the natural beauty around us. Each destination has taken our breath away, and every new place has been […]Read Post ›

Caribbean to the Pacific

They say time flies when you’re having fun, but occasionally time takes a slow bus over the mountains, and you are still having fun… That was us amost two weeks ago, when we trekked over the misty mountains of Panama to get to Bocas Del Toro. Our first stop was noisy, colorful Bocas town, where we […]Read Post ›

Panama City to Boquete

The flight from Los Angeles to Panama is six hours long. It’s not so bad, as far as flights go, to get yourself into a completely different climate, culture and state of mind. We scored a free seat for Sadie using our favorite trick, reserving the window and aisle seats. The young man in the […]Read Post ›

The Trip Begins!

Well, our big trip is underway. As expected the last weeks before we left Maui were a chaotic blur of packing, moving, selling and cleaning our condo to prepare to rent it out. There were our final days of work and the bittersweet wishes for a safe and fun trip from many friends who we […]Read Post ›

Adventures in baby passports photos!

The hubby and I have a long, long list of things that have to get done before we set off on our great big adventure. Among the many mundane but time consuming tasks we have, like replacing a faucet, spreading fresh gravel on our patio and (gulp) moving all of our stuff into a storage […]Read Post ›
