On this day, we enjoyed breakfast at the buffet at our hotel, which featured the usual breakfast suspects, along with miso soup, Kahlua pork, and some other fun items. After breakfast, we went for a hike on the Lahaina Pali trail. It was only about 5 miles, but was quite steep, and involved scrambling up … More Maui – 7/13/2018
On Monday, we passed on a boat ride and snorkeling trip to Molokini Crater with everyone else, as it was not age-appropriate for Vale. We were disappointed, but made alternative fun plans. We walked approximately 4 miles (round trip) of the Beachwalk, weaving through different luxurious resorts, turquoise beaches, and lovely scenery. Vale slept for … More Maui 7/9/2018

The views were great, and I splashed myself with icy cold water when we walked by streams. … More Glenwood Springs 7/15/16

We ended up staying somewhere expensive as hell even though we were pretty much just drinking and crashing for the night, because we had failed to realize it was some music festival weekend. At … More Yosemite I
We woke up early and took a bus to Tayrona National Park (day #6). We hiked several miles, weaving in and out of jungle and shore through the national park. We faced some light rains, but the heat still made dips in the ocean a cool welcome. We headed back to Taganga at night, but … More Tayrona National Park
