Trip Journals

Back before this site existed, and before I started blogging, Cindy kept a daily journal of all our activities while we were on vacation. It acted as another keepsake of our memories of the places we’ve seen together. For our first trip to Maui, those journal entries are posted here to give more insight and info on our experiences in Maui.

Since then, I’ve been using our blog to share daily journal entries posted during our trips. So while Cindy has her own journal still, our blog readers get a more tailored perspective as it happens. You can find links to both below.
