First stop of the trip was Bridalveil Falls. The parking lot is a short drive from the park entrance, and the vista point just is a short walk from the parking lot. It is the perfect spot… Read More

I always wanted to see autumn colors. One of the trips on my short list is to do New England in the fall. It's still on my short list, and I can never seem to find the right time to do it… Read More

Our final stop in the Valley was the sand dunes close to Stovepipe Wells. These sand dunes take up only a very small portion of the entire valley, and I found myself wondering how all this… Read More

Aside from the castle, the other major sight in that region was the Ubehebe Crater. This was one gigantic hole in the ground, and reminds me a lot of the Sarlacc Pit in Return of the Jedi… Read More

Our first stop on Sunday was Scotty’s castle. Built by insurance magnate Albert Johnson, the castle bears the name of his caretaker, Walter Scott. When the castle was built, Scott br… Read More

When we arrived at the tiny town of Beatty, it was immediately obvious that this place existed mostly to serve the traffic coming in and out of Death Valley. There were a few cheap looking… Read More

The next stop on our itinerary was Badwater Basin. According to legend, one of the early prospectors came across this small body of water and couldn’t get his mule to drink from it… Read More

A few miles down the road from Golden Canyon was the Devil’s Golf Course. To get to the vista point, we had to turn into an unpaved road which had its share of bumps and dips. Many o… Read More

Our first stop after Furnace Creek was the Golden Canyon hiking trail. It wasn’t really on our itinerary, but we stopped to take a look to see why all the cars were parked by the road… Read More

Saturday was Valentine’s Day. Somehow, driving around with another guy in the middle of the desert didn’t feel very Valentinely to me. So, we sort of forgot about the occasion… Read More

Death Valley has always struck me as a place of mystery and wonder. Designated as a National Park in 1994, this is the largest park outside of Alaska. Although it lacks the beautiful perfe… Read More

Even on Maui, where you get a thousand different views of the ocean, this has gotta be one of the best. The waves below us were huge and relentless. We stood there for a long time, watchin… Read More

Our flight back to the Bay Area was not until late in the evening, and we wanted to make the most of our last day here in paradise. After checking out of our hotel in Kihei, it was lunch an… Read More

Before we checked out, we took a walk on the beach right behind our hotel. It was a quiet morning, and there were not many people out yet. We buried our toes in the sand, and to simply enj… Read More

After so many stops, we are finally turning back east towards Paia and Kahului. The sun was just about to set, and we stopped at one of the sites on the Haneo'o Road loop to simply enjoy th… Read More

Well, Oheo Gulch was the climax of this journey, but there was still one last destination left on our agenda - to pay homage to the final resting place of Charles Lindbergh. Heading west of… Read More

Some call this place the Seven Sacred Pools, though there are more than seven, and none of them are or ever have been sacred to anybody. The place is beautiful, and I highly recommend anyon… Read More

There's not much in Hana. All the guide books tell you that - on this particular road, it is the journey that counts, not the destination. We stopped there for a while, drove to the waterf… Read More

We almost missed the turn into Wai'anapanapa, and I am so happy that we didn't. Wai'anapanapa is more beautiful than Pua'a Ka'a by far. We saundered around, taking pictures. I liked the… Read More

This State Park is a significant stop on the Road to Hana. When I say "significant", I did not mean that it in the beautiful-scenary, or culturally interesting sort of way, but more along… Read More

Before we continued on our way to Hana, we stopped at this great lookout point overseeing the lush green Kaenae Peninsula. Very tropical, very much like Malaysia Read More

Ok, so the weather wasn't that great that day, and as you can see, the waters were a little choppy. But at least it didn't rain. As we turned into the Kaenae Peninsula, we stopped right befo… Read More

The day before we were scheduled to fly back to San Francisco, we reserved for the Road to Hana. We stopped by the little surfer town of Paia to grab some sandwiches. With a 20 dollar depo… Read More

From the get-go, we made a conscious decision to save on most of our meals, but splurge on a few select ones. If we hadn't made this decision, we would not have been spending this evening at… Read More
