I am finally getting around to the Honolulu portion of our Hawaii ‘06 trip. We spent July 14-19th at a small hotel called the Aqua Palms. The hotel is recently renovated, well-priced, and within walking distance of most everything.
While in Honolulu, we spent a day visiting the aquarium and zoo. […]

We vacationed in Hawaii from July 10-20 and had a splendid time! About 4 days were spent on Kauai, and the other time spent in Honolulu on the island of Oahu. This post contains the pictures from Kauai.

We took a weekend trip to Paris last weekend, July 1-3rd. Paris was at that time in the running to host the 2012 Olympics. There were signs on all public buildings such as the Eiffel Tower. We learned today that London will in fact be hosting the Olympics, so I doubt you […]

We went to Salzburg on Sunday the 26th of June after visiting Reit Im Winkl. We only spent a few hours here but it is certainly one of our favorite cities.
We wandered around downtown and ate in a local Cafe/Beer Garden/Italian Restaurant. The food was satisfactory. The town was not […]
