We took a trip for 10 days to Thailand in honor of our dad’s upcoming 50th birthday. We made pit stops in Bangkok and Nakhon Phanom, my dad’s birth place, before heading for the southern coast of Thailand. While Bangkok is bustling and Nakhon Phanom is idyllic and I loved both cities, Phuket has been at the top of my travel bucket list for the …

Why does it cost so much to just sleep and shower anyway? Luckily for us millennials we have been gifted with Airbnb. It’s one of the most inexpensive, comfortable, and innovative ways to …

I guess that’s one of the beauties of marriage and sharing a life together: your own home and family become each other’s home and …

From brunch and desserts, to fancy dinners and hole in the wall restaurants, here is a list of all of our favorite places to eat on the island! Enjoy! Fun fact: Ono in Hawaiian means “delicious” which is why half the names of these places have Ono in the name. 1. Kalaheo …
I’m not sure when my obsession with Polynesian culture, luaus, and Hawaiian beaches started, but as a child I’ve always dreamed of visiting Hawaii; it was my dream!
