Molokai

April 30, 2020April 29, 2020 ~ Evelyn Mitsunaga ~ 7 Comments

Now is the period of isolation during the Covid 19 pandemic, and I feel almost guilty writing about our recent Maui-Molokai trip.  For the first time in ages, I have no travel plans except to know that we are going nowhere out of the country until there is a vaccine.  These Shelter-in-Place days drag on … Continue reading Molokai

Maui Revisited

March 29, 2020March 28, 2020 ~ Evelyn Mitsunaga ~ 8 Comments

Was it only four weeks ago, that we left California for a ten-day trip to Hawaii?  We had a lovely time on Maui, didn't watch the news, didn't give the Corona virus a thought.  We concentrated on having a good time.  So cavalier, so nice––until we got on the plane for home and saw a … Continue reading Maui Revisited

Excursion to Lanai

March 10, 2020March 9, 2020 ~ Evelyn Mitsunaga ~ 2 Comments

The best thing about a ten-day stay on Maui?  Time for short trips to near-by Lanai and Molokai.  Our one-day excursion to Lanai was easy and fun.  We hadn't planned  to go to Lanai before we got to Maui––we did our planning just one day before scooting over to the old Dole pineapple island, now … Continue reading Excursion to Lanai

A Squeaky Wheel Gets Results

April 19, 2019April 19, 2019 ~ Evelyn Mitsunaga ~ 2 Comments

If you read my post about Hawaii, you saw that we were unhappy with the outcome of a tour we booked with the resort's Expedia desk.  I'm here to tell you we've achieved a resolution that made us happy. The facts:  (1) Wednesday, February 20, make reservations on a Moana Kea Stellar Viewing Tour for … Continue reading A Squeaky Wheel Gets Results

Good Finds on the Big Island

March 12, 2019March 10, 2019 ~ Evelyn Mitsunaga ~ 5 Comments

We're six of us, on the Kona side of Hawaii for almost a week.  Our first excursion, suggested by the travel desk at the resort (I refuse to mention Expedia because, by the time we leave, we will be very unhappy with them), is north of Kona a few miles to visit Kaloko-Honokohau National Historic Park. … Continue reading Good Finds on the Big Island

Inter-island? Fly Mokulele Air

November 24, 2017 ~ Evelyn Mitsunaga ~ 1 Comment

We're wined up, having finished the Prosecco, the last half bottle of red, and some white left from days ago.  What to do with the remaining five bottles of beer and an unopened bottle of wine?  Too much to leave for the maids. Three days before Christmas and we're heading to Maui after five days … Continue reading Inter-island? Fly Mokulele Air

Stones Not Collected

August 18, 2017November 16, 2017 ~ Evelyn Mitsunaga ~ 1 Comment

Stones, my favorite keepsakes.  When my suitcase is not at the weight limit, stones make a nice little travel remembrance to bring home.  Not from a National Park, mind you.   And I'll never take a piece of lava home from Hawaii.  Here is why. When I read my Stones story (link) at the Wednesday afternoon … Continue reading Stones Not Collected
