If you aren’t able to fly to Japan right now, how about experiencing a traditional Japanese onsen right here in New Mexico? Ten Thousand Waves spa and resort in Santa Fe, NM is incredibly similar to the hot spring spas in Japan. I stayed at Ten Thousand Waves spa one night in December, and I …
The Road to Hana is a famous 52-mile highway in Maui that curves alongside cliffs and through a rain forest. You’re going to make over 600 turns and cross over 45 bridges.

Are you on a mission to visit multiple Hawaiian islands in one go? I’ve visited all 4 main islands in Hawaii — Oahu, Kauai, Maui, and the Big Island — and all are worth seeing. They’re different, special in their own ways, so why choose just one Hawaiian island to visit? Visit them all! With …
Oahu is the most popular Hawaiian island, receiving almost half of all visitors to Hawaii, and probably what you think of when you think Hawaii. With a 5 day Oahu itinerary, you can see a lot, such as the famous Waikiki Beach and Kualoa Ranch (where Jurassic Park was filmed). It can be overwhelming trying …

Kauai is Hawaii’s fourth largest island and the least visited of the main four. I’ve visited Kauai twice and loved it even more the second time. (I have plans to visit again this year!)
