We had two full days in Hawaii before we left at 9pm on the second night. The weather on the first full day sort of cooperated. It wasn’t glorious sunshine, but it wasn’t pouring rain either. We had weird intermittent mists but for the most part we played at the beach. R is a total… Continue reading Honolulu, HI to Anchorage, AK: Travel Days

Anchorage, AK to Honolulu, HI to Osaka, Japan: Travel Days
So of course, this being Christmas break and us, being the Hamptons, you know we’re not just going to Hawaii. Ty found us tickets from Honolulu to Osaka, Japan for a great deal! So darn if we didn’t have to get ourselves to Hawaii. The plan for Christmas break is to fly through Hawaii on… Continue reading Anchorage, AK to Honolulu, HI to Osaka, Japan: Travel Days
Captain Cook to Hilo: Bike Adventure Day 7
We had a decent night sleep but since most of the windows didn't have blinds we woke up with the sun. Thankfully the host agreed to help us get back up the hill. Otherwise it would have taken us a few hours and multiple trips to walk all our stuff up. The kids and I,… Continue reading Captain Cook to Hilo: Bike Adventure Day 7
Naahelu to Captain Cook, HI: Bike Adventure Day 6
Well today was not my favorite. It started off nicely. The bed and breakfast we stayed at was so beautiful and peaceful. The kids loved playing ping pong and air hockey. The host showed us some home footage of the volcano eruption last year. Then we took off about 10am and it immediately sucked. As… Continue reading Naahelu to Captain Cook, HI: Bike Adventure Day 6
Volcano to Naahelu, HI: Bike Adventure Day 5
We decided to have a lazy morning in our rental house. It was really nice to wake up at 6:30 🙄 and not rush out the door. We finally left around 11 and of course it was drizzling. R woke up still sounding awful so we knew she was just going to hang in the… Continue reading Volcano to Naahelu, HI: Bike Adventure Day 5
Hilo to Volcano, HI: Bike Adventure Day 4
Well, at least I can say I survived the day... We climbed over 4K in elevation gain today. It also took us 6 hours from leaving the hotel to arrive at our rental house. This doesn't include a long leisurely lunch stop. There wasn't one! 28.8 miles of mostly up hill. Yeah we knew today… Continue reading Hilo to Volcano, HI: Bike Adventure Day 4
Hilo, HI: A non-adventure Day
Our goals for today were to play another round of golf and to surprise the kids with a movie. We managed to accomplish both of these. 😁 R decided to join team sickness by waking up super congested. We are sharing one hotel room, and numerous water bottles, I'm not totally surprised. After another hotel… Continue reading Hilo, HI: A non-adventure Day
Hilo, HI: Adventure Day
We woke up nice and early, like most vacations with kids. 🤷🏻♀️ Had a so-so breakfast in the hotel. (Side note, our hotel is just average, we wouldn't recommend it but we wouldn't say not to stay here) then we grabbed our bikes and headed off to find this local Catholic Church, Malia Puka O… Continue reading Hilo, HI: Adventure Day
Honokaa to Hilo: Bike Adventure Day 3
I went into today knowing that it was going to be a long day. We were riding over 40 miles to get to Hilo, but once there we'd have 3 days to rest! Totally worth it right? We slept terribly because for some reason L's cough came back last night. He was up with a… Continue reading Honokaa to Hilo: Bike Adventure Day 3
Hapuna to Honokaa, HI: Bike Adventure Day 2
I mentally was preparing myself for a hard ride. Climbing 3k feet pretty much nonstop sounded intense! We woke up a bit early and got ready quickly. Amazing how you can do that without kids around. The only concern was Ty sounded really sick. All night long I could hear him coughing. But being Ty… Continue reading Hapuna to Honokaa, HI: Bike Adventure Day 2
