Let’s hike the Kalalau trail

Let’s hike the Kalalau trail

  The hardest 11 miles you will ever hike. Let me begin by telling you that hiking to the beach at the end of the Kalalau trail was one of the most rewarding things I have done.   This is without a doubt one of the best hikes in North America.  Not only is it absolutely spectacular but you have to work (HARD) for it!! It makes arriving all the sweeter!  Note that the trail to the end is frequently cited…

Hike to the base of Wailua Falls – it’s worth it!

Hike to the base of Wailua Falls – it’s worth it!

During the Dalai Lama’s visit…

Freedom or bust!

Freedom or bust!

So …. Since I last said hello a lot has happened.  I actually went and did it .. I quit my job in corporate America and have gone rogue.  Well, that’s not entirely accurate.  Here’s how it went down … While vacationing on the Big Island (a.k.a. The Orchid Isle or just plain Hawaii),  while I was lamenting my fate of having to go back to my job at the resort, Kevin received a job offer for a Senior Audit…
