We’re not quite sure how to compose this next introduction, so we’ll put the fancy prose aside and just say this: if you’re looking for a New York-based attorney who also happens to excel at singing karaoke around the globe, Harvey from H-Bomb Worldwide Karaoke is your guy. He’s crooned along in karaoke bars across 27 different countries (that’s a FACT), with more travel plans in the works.

eating our way through hawaii: the sweet
To be honest, dessert is just not the way to my heart. Flowers are better than chocolates and mozz sticks are better than cupcakes. It’s just a fact. Lucky for you, in the name of research, the hubs and I still tested out our fair share of sweets while in Oahu & Kauai. Ted’s Bakery, North Shore, Oahu Ah yes, another Oahu staple: Ted’s Chocolate Haupia Pie. If I am forced to eat dessert, I’ll always go pie over cake. I even tried to implement a pie bar at our wedding instead of a traditional wedding cake, but our venue…

eating our way through hawaii: the savory
As we counted down to our ten day tour of Hawaii, I was surprised by how little I concerned myself with what we’d be eating. Usually, this is my #1 travel priority, but for some reason, I brushed Hawaii’s culinary options off from the start.

everything but the kayak with kayak kauai
Before the hubs and I realized that hiking is more than just casually strolling about in the wilderness, we took Kayak Kauai up on a day of hiking in the morning and stand-up paddleboard (SUP) rentals in the afternoon. When I told the owner, Micco, that this was how we’d like to spend a random Wednesday, he responded with, “well, you’ll sleep well that night!” Well played, Micco. We met our guide, Kelly, early in the morning at the Kayak Kauai location in Kapa’a. Though I assumed our tour would involve a small group, the hubs and I were pleased…

travel announcement: baltimore, maryland
Remember the time we told you it’s not about the length of the trip, it’s about the length of the journey? Or… it’s about the experience of the journey? Anyway, it was something extremely profound (I’m sure). It was about the importance of getting away, even if you can only manage a few days. The point is, this weekend I’m packing my bags and going about four hours south to the city of crabs and Natty Bo. That’s right! I’m off to Baltimore, Maryland. I’ve been in New York without any form of escape for over a month. This is…
