Willow Inn Smoked Sockeye – Lummi Island

Have Food? We’ll Travel

Work is at an all-time-busy, we’re making some big life decisions and we’ve strung together a sequence of “best of” travel experiences that we’ve coined our Ultimate Honeymoon (in honor of finally having a legal marriage that is expected to stick). Read more »

Finding the Chill in Hawaii and Costa Rica

None of our adventures beat those in which we find ourselves in a chill, restorative environment. It seems we’re half crazy half the time (especially lately), so we love – more than anything – accommodations that dilute the crazy quotient. Read more »

Lanai Sunrise

Sharing Aloha

In all of our rambling on-and-on about Hawaii over the years, we’ve failed to give adequate attention to what we think is this sliver-of-the-world’s biggest selling point.

You feel the love when you are there. It’s like Valentine’s Day every day. Read more »

Four Seasons Seattle – rooms

Where to Stay in Seattle

When we decided we wanted to do some kind of Celebrate Seattle contest – the capstone event in our year long focus on (uh, obsession with) Seattle – it wasn’t too tough for us to select the perfect hotel to partner with. After very little pondering and research, we knew just which property to reach out to. Read more »

Seattle – Pike Place Market

Celebrate Seattle Giveaway

Imagine this.

You wake up in Seattle. Looking out your hotel room’s window, you see a layer of light fog beginning to drift away. Somehow, contrary to what you conjured up before arriving, the dramatic clouds and light rain fit the setting. You see ferry-dotted Elliott Bay in front of you, and the more-impressive-than-you-imagined Olympic Range in the distance. It’s unique. It’s perfect.  Read more »

Maui - Aloha

There’s Something About Maui

Aloha!

As I write this, our time on Maui isn’t quite over, and we’ve already snapped hundreds of pictures. It’s overwhelming to sit here clicking through them all because it’s a reminder of how incomprehensibly magnificent and diverse this island is.
