St. Benedict: The Painted Church of Hawaii Overlooking the beautiful Kealakekua Bay on Hawaii’s Big Island, St. Benedict’s Catholic Church (also known as The Painted Church) is a delight to visit and enjoy. As a part of the famous Kona coffee growing region since 1842, this fascinating church building and friendly parish are an important part of the community. The [...]
It’s as though you’ve entered another world. The dusty dirt road winding its way along Savusavu Bay, passing yachts and remote Fiji pearl farms, finally ends in paradise. Warm wood tones and island ambiance await from the moment you enter the reception area of Jean-Michel Cousteau Fiji Islands Resort. The pull of the soothing azure pool water with fresh hibiscus-adorned [...]

Santorini – Greece’s most popular island… What Boundaries? Live Your Dream! book excerpt: Even as I write this, I’m struck by how profound my disappointment was on leaving this island. I was dejected beyond reason. Not because the visit was anything less than spectacular. The island is magical. Shades of blues and stark whites mingle in ways that make one [...]
I have a strange fascination with gargoyles – the scarier, the better! While most provide the necessary function of draining rainwater from the roof, others seem as much a part of the architectural landscape as the church itself. Do they serve to scare off Evil? Or are they subtle reminders to the flock of what each might face if Faith [...]
It’s Friday, deep in the Grand Canyon. With the 5am conch shell blow for coffee, our day begins. Today we’re on the water by 7am; tents, cots, and sleeping bags safely tucked away in enormous dry bags. The first wash of 46 degree muddy Colorado River hits us square in the face by 7:10. Okay, we’re awake now! The rapids [...]
I’m writing this from my bed in a “haunted castle” in Kilkenny, Ireland. Foulksrath Castle – a magical place like nowhere else we’ve ever stayed. Cold, damp, medieval and just a bit creepy, this is a true 16th century Norman Tower. Complete with a winding staircase and a secret passageway to the roof. A BBC television team of British Ghost [...]
La Tomatina in Bunol, Spain Goggles On! Goggles? Check! White Clothes? Check! Duct Tape? Check! We were ready for La Tomatina – The World’s Largest Tomato Fight! Before the tomatoes – the ham must be brought down. Shout of “To The Ham!” drew brave climbers in cow costumes, wedding dresses, Superman capes and giant bananas up the thickly greased pole to [...]
“Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky” – Rabindranath Tagore Maybe it’s because we’re only 20 degrees north of the equator. Or perhaps the sky in Hawaii creates the perfect combination of particles in the air to scatter light. Whatever the reason, these islands produce [...]
Honestly, you’d think all we do when we visit New Orleans is eat and drink. But in reality, it’s only what we do for 90% of the time…we have to get visiting, sleeping and showering in there somewhere, too! This time we had a whole week to spend with family and friends - celebrating a wedding (more delicious food & drink!) [...]
