Well here I am back in good ole New Jersey, and as wonderful a time I had on my honeymoon in Hawaii, it’s great to be back. I love traveling, but there’s something I love even more—real life. Most people “live” for their vacations. Most people “can’t wait” until the weekend. Why is that? 1. […]
Here I am sitting at the airport in Maui. What a great week we had. One of the highlights of our trip was the Tour da Food with the great Bonnie Friedman. As we drove around the island in search of delicious, local food, I noticed the gas prices. $4.78 per gallon! We all agreed […]

Hawaiian Word of the Day: Akamai: ah-kah-my Smart, clever What does it mean to be smart? Does it mean having a PhD? Does it mean getting good grades? It might, but being akamai to me means taking the right action. Doing what needs to be done, whether you feel like it or not. Be akamai […]
Well here I am, steps away from the beach and blogging on my iPad2. I can hear the sounds of the waves crashing down and smell the sweetness that only an island can provide. A tiny green lizard just jumped up on the table. Now, I am not blogging to make you jealous, I am […]
