I like any Bed & Breakfast that doesn’t have a front door. Tucked back off a side road in the hills above Kilua-Kona on Hawai’i’s Big Island, the Holualoa Inn sits on 30 acres with a commanding view of Pacific sunsets.

I’ve finally found a workable backpack for all my cameras, laptop, reading, writing and travel gear! With over 25,000 miles of travel on planes, boats, a minivan, cars, trains, a 32′ RV and on foot, I have had the chance to get a good feel for the REI Quantum Computer Pack over the course of [...]

I have to admit my watch is one of my favorite and most trusted pieces of travel gear. I was given my Suunto Vector Wrist-Top Computer Watch as a gift for being in my brother’s wedding 10 years ago and it has been on every far flung adventure I’ve been on. From backcountry hikes [...]
