Aloha readers of National Parks with T! We have just returned from our Hawaii dream trip. We flew into Honolulu and spent a few nights in a hotel from which we explored the island of Oahu. Then we boarded a cruise ship which took us to adventures on Maui, Hawai’i (The Big Island). and Kauai.
Along the way we took about 1500 photos and should have lots of new blog posts from this trip throughout 2019. Needless to say, we are still a little jet-lagged and now that we are home again we are dealing with a health crisis for my little dog, Lily. She needs surgery, so we are preoccupied with that at the moment.
Mahalo for reading and commenting on my posts! I do read all of your comments and they make me smile, even if I can’t respond right away. I promise to catch up with all of you in the near future!
Meanwhile, you will continue to see previously scheduled posts. Until we meet again…
Best wishes to Lily. Wishing her a speedy recovery.
Thank you 🙏🏻
Good luck with Lily. I’ll say some prayers.
Thank you 🙏🏻
Welcome back. Always nice to get away, but good to come home too. Best wishes to Lily. Allan
Thanks Allan!🙏
Speedy recovery to Lily. Looking forward to seeing your Hawaiian posts.
Thank you 🙏
Keeping my fingers crossed for you little doggie. I hope all goes well with the surgery and I wish her a speedy recovery.
Thanks!🙏🙏
That’s so cool! I’ve always wanted to visit Hawaii. ImI looking forward to seeing your pictures. And I hope your dog will be ok.
Thank you!🙏
Looks like a nice trip! Best wishes for Lily!
Thanks!🙏
We took this cruise about 4 years ago. Really enjoyed it. Look forward to hearing about your experiences.
We will be back. Love Hawaii so much. So many opportunities of places to enjoy.
Hope your dog is doing better.
Thanks! We enjoyed it as well. I would like to go back to the islands someday
Glad that you had a wonderful trip and at least got to see some of Oahu – some people equate the entire island to Honolulu – which gives some beautiful scenery short shrift. Will say prayers for Lily and will look forward to seeing you always outstanding photos.
Thanks, Don! I think people are put off by Honolulu because they weren’t expecting a major metropolitan area in the midst of their fantasy of paradise. Though we did spend most of our Oahu time on the North Shore, we LIKE Honolulu. We found it to be safe and walkable, with some great international culture as well as historical treasures.
We certainly enjoyed our trip to Maui. Loved Kihei’s beach the best.
I too hope your dog is okay. They’re such important members of our families aren’t they?
Thank you! Yes, they are and it’s so difficult when they are sick 🙁
Hope Lily is doing ok!
She’s doing much better…definitely has enough of her pep back that it’s a challenge keeping her from jumping and opening the stitches
