We left Fresno on Saturday morning for Klamath Falls, Oregon & reached our lake view Airbnb around 5p that evening. But not without a stop in Weed, CA, and yes, we got matching t-shirts. We tried to eat at a steak/oyster place in Klamath but it was hovering around 50 degrees and the “dog-friendly patio”…… Continue reading Boise bound with Blue

“We’re roughing it, we only have 1 bathroom”
“It’s a right, up there.” As David makes the turn, I cry out, “uh, it was a left.” He only responds “Amy,” shaking his head. And then I wonder, can a road trip kill a marriage??! This is an epic road trip of firsts. First time road-tripping with our dog, Blue Ferrigno. First time road-tripping…… Continue reading “We’re roughing it, we only have 1 bathroom”
“It’s a third world state” -Mike
Yesterday (Friday) was our last chance to head to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park where, you guessed it, volcanoes, craters, lava rocks and such are to be found. You also guessed correctly, if you read previous blog entries, that this was another 2 hours drive from Kona. Now where you might get penalized in points (for…… Continue reading “It’s a third world state” -Mike
It’s off-season, even for bathrooms
I’m a few days out from real-time blogging but the sun and movement around the island is EXHAUSTING! We’re staying in the Kona area, about 20 mins from the airport and 2 hours from the other side of the island (Hilo) or the non-active volcanoes. On Wednesday, we decided to drive the 2 hours to…… Continue reading It’s off-season, even for bathrooms
Getting lost is all part of the adventure
Kona is very well known for its production of flavor-forward coffees. I don’t actually know that’s true, but you hear about Kona and coffee so much that we decided to do a coffee roasting farm tour. On the recommendation of the bartender from yesterday, we went to Hōlualoa Kona Coffee Co. It was a bit…… Continue reading Getting lost is all part of the adventure
“Lizards, I’m here…”
Mahalo! David and I have taken a honeymoon exercise to Big Island, Hawaii. Or Hilo. And or Kona. We flew out the Sunday before Labor Day for 6 nights on the Big Island. And to get here involved a layover in Honolulu – which is the chillest airport ever! There was even access to an…… Continue reading “Lizards, I’m here…”
Livin’ La Vida Local
Tonight is our last night in Los Cabos and we had dinner with family. I’ll miss mi Catalina but I must come back soon with David to check out wedding venues. So “see you soon girlfriend!” Have you ever wondered what living in Mexico is really like? For the most part, it’s just a nicer…… Continue reading Livin’ La Vida Local
¡Cray cray Catalina!
Last Sunday came with a change in my living situation. David went back to America and my Mom arrived for her two weeks’ vacation in Cabo. Since Mom has been here before, we’re focusing on simple-living and don’t really have any plans besides enjoying Mexico and seeing our friends. I haven’t really had much to…… Continue reading ¡Cray cray Catalina!
“Yes Maria, I do speak Spanish now.”
Since coming back from Todos Santos, David had lined up 2 fishing charters for his last week here. He caught tons of fish and I still don’t care for the taste of it much. But his happiness at getting out on the water was worth it. I had my first massage with Magic Hands Maria!…… Continue reading “Yes Maria, I do speak Spanish now.”
Introducing, Mr. Ballena Whisperer
Saturday morning we walked to Mama Mia’s for breakfast. David asked them to make a breakfast burrito, which wasn’t on the menu. Este gringo está loco because what came out were 3 little tortillas with scrambled eggs and cheese, beans on the side. But my crazy gringo got the idea to head out of town…… Continue reading Introducing, Mr. Ballena Whisperer
