There’s No Place Like Hawaii

There’s No Place Like Hawaii

Hawaii is the most beautiful place I’ve ever seen. I’ve often gotten caught up in the internal struggle of the mountains vs the beach which makes Hawaii the perfect storm.

Dining at Aulani

I didn’t go into a ton of information about dining options at Aulani on our 
post over here because we were covering more of the storytelling side of the resort. So today I wanted to cover some of the options for dining at Aulani.

See You at Ohana!

See You at Ohana!

To any who know me it’s fairly obvious of where I rank good food on the hierarchy of important things. For those of you who don’t know me, well it’s pretty high up there. I love food. I can plan my entire week around good food. So it should come to no surprise that I am very big on Disney dining. It is one of my favorite things about planning our Disney trips (also the same as baseball stadiums but that’s another blog in itself.). I try to mix in my favorites while always trying to catch something new.

Aulani, It’s in the Details!

Aulani, It’s in the Details!

One of my favorite parts about Disney is the attention to details in everything. Disney is a company that is an expert at storytelling and that expertise doesn’t just end with great movies it overflows into all aspects of the company, you see it in the parks and the resorts even on the cruise lines. The same is true at Aulani, A Disney Resort, and Spa on the great Island of Oahu. The word Aulani translates to “messenger of a chief,” It expresses a connection to tradition and deep story-telling. Join me as I can only skim the surface of the beauty and wonders of this amazing resort and culture of the Hawaiian people.

Becoming a Traveler

Becoming a Traveler

21°20’10.8″N 158°07’31.8”W. It was here, on a quiet lonely rock beach in Ko Olina, Hawaii, I first realized just how massive the world was and how little of it I’ve seen. It was there I became a traveler.

We were Celebrating our 10 year anniversary, at Disney’s Aulani Resort and Spa. It was supposed to be a fun vacation though turned out to be much more than I ever anticipated. If you have never been to Hawaii and ever get the opportunity to go I highly suggest you go. Culturally it’s amazing and by far the most beautiful place I have ever laid my eyes on (the food’s not bad either). It was on that large rock, relentlessly being pounded by the ocean, I realized just how much I was missing out on.
