When you’re in Hawaii, it is very common to hear the word ALOHA. A day won’t pass without you hearing it or seeing it. Aloha is probably one of the most used Hawaiian word. And it has a variety of use and meaning. We use ALOHA to say hello and goodbye, we use it as […]
I have been thinking about this topic of “Living on Maui” for the past few weeks. Recently our family’s income was reduced significantly. There were moments of panic and anxiety. Then we prayed, we assessed, we prayed again and we planned. Bottomline, we have to change our lifestyle and live within our means, with a new […]
Ka Malama Dinner Series at the Grand Wailea – It was a fascinating experience – a unique feast engaged with cultural learning. The suitable pairing of wine with the food served is an added treat. The welcome cocktail is the “cherry on top”! Thanks to Sommelier Yeshua Goodman for that delicious Lilikoi Basil cocktail shown on […]

I cherish Father’s day because I get to publicly and shamelessly celebrate being my daughter’s Dad. But most importantly, it’s the one day of the year I get to take all the credit for what my daughter does the other 364 days of the year. This year we decided to take a well-deserved staycation on […]
Continuing with our Travaasa Hana adventure stories, one of the many activities that I really enjoyed doing was learning “Throw Net Fishing”. Noelle took a photo of me during our lessons at Travaasa Hana, but she didn’t go with us at the bay, so I didn’t have a photo of me actually throw net fishing at Hana […]
“This place is our most favorite place on earth!“, I heard the couple next to us said to the waitress serving them. Then they went on and on sharing how they are enjoying their stay. I wanted to join the conversation and say “us too!” As you already know, Travaasa Hana is one of our […]
