I spent two-and-a-half memorable days in Maui. I had great hosts at the Napili Kai Beach Resort, it was hard to leave my room and that gorgeous view! When I did leave I met the warmest, most gracious people, they taught me the meaning of ohana. After a relaxing half-day…
After five truly enlightening days on the Big Island, I departed for my next adventures in Maui. My home-base for the next few days was the Napili Kai Beach Resort, a place that was completely unknown to me prior to this trip. As I mentioned before, I visited Maui in…

36 Hours in Portland Oregon USA: the Food Trucks and more!
This time last year I did my first wine harvest and had such fond memories of the day that when our friends invited us again, Mr. Misadventures and I jumped at the chance. The process of picking the grapes and following the steps to get it to the barrel is…
For a long time, I’ve wanted to do a series on things to do in San Francisco (and another on things to do on day trips outside of San Francisco). I have a whole list of activities and places to include and write about. But it has continued to be…
