Nature’s Gift

It doesn't get much better than this.

Toasted

It's a good thing I'm coming home in a few days because if I get anymore relaxed I might just want to stay. So lush, so beautiful and so peaceful!

Island Style

Staying in the little town of Hanalei on the north shore of Kauai. I love the laid-back style and pace of life here. Like how the little house uhas dried moss to decorate it's porch, but the best part is that mountain behind it. Those plastic chairs look pretty amusing in front of hut in a taro field. Very beautiful here, getting used to the daily monsoon rains in between the sunshine.

Seize the Day

I don’t know about everyone else, but there are places I've been fortunate enough to visit in my lifetime hat give me tummy butterflies without exception when landing at said destination. So far, those have been Paris, anywhere in Italy and Hawaii. There are places that just seize me in a way I cannot explain and Kauai is one of those. For the next eight days I will be in a remote location with nothing but sun, sand, crystal clear water, the scent of tropical flowers and green mountains. If I post nothing but photos from there for the next week, be assured that my blog will be full of new inspiration when I return. Aloha!

Dreaming of Sand

I’ve got the beach, sand, sun and the luxury of reading a stack of books with no interruptions on my mind. In 48 hours I will be on my way to a remote, tropical beach to seriously unwind and if it would fit in my luggage, this Penguin deck chair would accompany me. The Penguin classics collection of beach chairs, bags & towels certainly conjure up the lazy days of summer and reading great books like The Big Sleep by Raymond Chandler.
