Coastal Redwoods

Start here.

The Redwoods will change your spirit for the better, promise.

This part of country is magical. Just ask the Ewoks.

Na Pali

The Na Pali Coast is probably one of the most photographed places on the island of Kauai. There's a pretty good reason for that when you take a look at this picture. The best way to see the rugged landscape is by helicopter- however, this trip is not for the weak stomach - I'll just leave it at that.

The winter is a great time to visit Kauai. It is the rainy season - which means - expect muddy trails and, well of course - rain. However, it's also whale season. We saw many whales while hiking the Kalalau Trail - we also saw many unprepared cruise ship tourists trying to the hike the moderate to difficult terrain wearing flip flops and carrying plastic shopping bags.

Big Cat Week!

It's Big Cat Week on Nat Geo Wild. Two of the scientists featured project lions to be extinct by 2020. That is not a pleasant figure for The King of the Jungle.

Eccentric Day

Bell's Eccentric Cafe is one of my favorite places on earth. Lucky for me, I still have many old and new friends in Kalamazoo - a few that work for Bell's.

Today is Eccentric Day - a tradition that holds a special place in my heart. Wish I could be there on this sunny, wintry day to celebrate with many friends - new and old.

Make time in your life to stop here. It's worth it.
