This was my favorite day! I started off the day at Honey Pot Hill Orchards in Stowe, Massachusetts to go apple picking. Honey Pot Hill Orchard Entrance I’ve had berry picking on my list of things I want to do forever now, so I was excited to do something similar. When I arrived I purchased a […]
The next day I headed to Boston with a ticket for Old Town Trolley Tours. I started off in Boston Common and Public Garden, Boston’s largest park, founded in 1634. The park is 50 acres and was so pretty! Boston Public Garden Boston Public Garden From there I walked to the corner of the park […]
My favorite Halloween movie is “Hocus Pocus.” I remember the first time I saw it, probably in 1993, at a horse awards banquet in Denton, Texas, and it’s a movie I own today. The movie takes place in Salem, Massachusetts, so I recently decided to travel there for a long weekend. I started off my […]
Today was a rainy day. We drove to Amini beach just a little south of the hotel because we had been told it was a great place to snorkel. We parked at one spot and walked out to the beach, then walked down farther to where there were more people, but didn’t really see many […]

Our guide, the owner of Reef Guides Hawaii, gives snorkeling tours from the St. Regis Princeville beach in the summer, but since it’s […]
Today we started off the day with tea, then headed down for breakfast. I tried a spiny looking fruit called rambutan and carambola (star fruit). Wasn’t a big fan of either, but they were interesting and really pretty. I also had POG juice (passion fruit+orange+guava)… so good! Carambola (star fruit) and rambutan After checking off […]
