How many times have you wanted to take the thrilling and scenic cruise from the top of Haleakala crater down to the beach in Maui? While the thought of a 3am wake up call is dreadful, once I was awake, and jumped on the shuttle van with the other crazies, I was hooked. After a stop in Kahului to pick up the bikes, watch a short orientation/safety video, and meet our guides, we were ready. There were about ten of us, as we drove up to the top the crater in the spooky darkness. Once at the top, we had coffee [View Full Entry]

5/4/2009 Leaving this Thursday for Kaua'i. This was a last minute change from a trip to the Riviera Maya area of Mexico. I was looking forward to some snorkeling in Cozumel and Playa Del Carmen; however, the Swine Flu became a little to real for us, so now it's Hawaii. We are staying at the Wyndham Ka'eo Kai Resort in Princeville. Trip Report Wyndham Ka'eo Kai Resort: The front desk was a little difficult to find because it still has the old hotel name on it. There is a small banner type of sign on the road that says Wyndham, that's [View Full Entry]

The entry you have all been waiting for is finally ready for viewing... Fallon and Chris were here about a month ago, and in true hawaiian fashion, I'm just getting around to sharing all our adventures. They risked their lives on a 15 hour flight from 'H' 'E' double hockey sticks, endangered their fair skin in the hot pacific sun, and endured the after math of the "Evil Jungle Prince" just to spend some quality time with me.... and stalk all the beaches where LOST is filmed:) We had a lot a fun. I'm practicing some secret island voodoo to try [View Full Entry]

Time to Play Tourist in Hawaii So it was time to enjoy the weekend and play tourist... I'm enjoying my time here in Waikiki. After work, I try to run and relax on the beach to watch the sunset. It's so amazing! Last weekend I watched the Freedom Surf Contest on Waikiki Beach, too bad the swells for only 2-4 feet and hard to find! But it was still really cool to watch. You can't exactly do that on Lake Erie! This weekend I ventured up the the North Shore and went golfing with my local friend, Pola, who has [View Full Entry]

My fiancee Mathieu and I were due to get married on May 8th in Mexico. We took just over a year to plan this blessed event and had everything from the flowers to the photographers picked out. Thirty four of us were due to leave in a matter of days for an exciting two weeks of sun, surf and sand; we couldnt wait! But then... SWINE flu happened. We hoped that it was just the media blowing everything way out of proportion and planned to go ahead with our plans. That is, until the Canadian government advised against Canadians travelling into [View Full Entry]

I am blessed to say that this was my THIRD trip to the Big Island of Hawaii. My parents are big lovers of Hawaii and have been there even more times than I have. I use to say they were just obsessed, but I think I may be too! Now that one of the most important and romantic days of my life happened there, it will always hold a very special place in my heart. We stayed at the Kona Coast Resorts just off of Alii drive. It was a great location because it wasnt too far from all the happening [View Full Entry]

Aloha from Hawaii!! What a journey it's been to get here. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would be working in Honolulu and living in Waikiki Beach. I'm sure if you asked my family if I would ever be here, a few years ago they would have said no way. I had a great flight from San Hose into Honolulu. It was pretty awesome to see the other islands from the air. After picking up my rental car and throwing my suitcases at my condo, I took my headed for the North Shore. I wasn't going to let [View Full Entry]

Have just been for my very first swim at the famous Waikiki Beach which is about a 5 minute walk to the end of my street away. Tomorrow, my [View Full Entry]
