Since I’m in between vacation series right now – just finished blogging the honeymoon and am about to start my cruise posts – I figured it would be a good time to tell you about my next vacation. And I would, if I could… but I don’t know where we’re going!!! Because my husband planned a surprise vacation for me! Allow me to explain in the form of the following video: [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDE7PIsjI7Y&w=560&h=315] (Also, in the video I said we’re 6 weeks away but I ended up taking longer to post it than expected due to transitioning my blog over, so we’re…

Site Updates
A bit of a different type of post today because I wanted to mention a few housekeeping things. You might notice the site looks a little different right now… this is because I have officially moved off of WordPress servers and I now have my own hosting!! If you don’t know what this means – basically I am one step closer to being a real live blogger! I no longer am limited by WordPress’s specifications when it comes to design, storage, quality, or anything else. It’s all mine! It’s been a bit of a process (and part of the reason…

The Menehune of Aulani
I interrupt my nearly-finished honeymoon series to bring you a special post about Aulani that I wanted to put up before the last day. While we were in Aulani, we started to notice these kinda-weird kinda-cute little dudes all around the resort. We started to notice them…everywhere. They were around the pool, in the lobby, indoors, outdoors, even in the elevators: Sometime during our stay we learned these little figures are called the Menehune. According to Hawaiian tradition, the Menehune are little mischievous men who live in the forests and hide from humans. Aulani paid tribute to this legend by…

This is post #9 in my series all about our honeymoon! If you haven’t already, make sure you read the other posts first – they’re listed chronologically here 🙂 DAY 9 – SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 11 Today is our last FULL day in Aulani 😭 But weren’t going to let it get us down because today was to be a day full of rest and relaxation. That’s because we were headed to Laniwai, Aulani’s spa! But first, it was time for some breakfast. We popped down the quick service location to grab a few things and brought them back up for breakfast on the balcony.…

Laniwai, A Disney Spa at Aulani – Review
As we creep closer and closer to being done with my honeymoon series, I decided I had one more special experience I wanted to write a standalone post about similar to my Club 33 and Walk in Walt’s Footsteps Tour posts. Today I want to tell you all about the fabulous experience we had at Laniwai, the Disney spa at Aulani! We decided to book a couples massage at Laniwai as part of our honeymoon, which we graciously received as a gift from off of our honeymoon registry! Many thanks to those who gifted us this amazing experience 🙂 We…

The title here says it all – I’m back from my vacation to California!! It was an absolutely amazing trip and we had so much fun!
