When driving the Pacific Coast Highway, one of the very best things to do is to visit the Elephant Seals five miles north of the Hearst Castle.
And if possible, do it around sunset.

That one time when I stayed at a Christmas tree farm – on a wonderful bus.
Half the fun of travel is the aesthetic lostness.

This is the only trip where I had to come home early. It was late Wednesday night (3/11/2020), and President Trump announced that I have until Friday to get back to the United States. Truly a moment that changed the world…
*can’t believe it took only three years to post this – but it’s important. The only journey ever where I didn’t finish. It’s on the bucket list to go back.
People change as they travel in faith,
not by standing still waiting to understand everything.

“Dragon fruit cactus is a night blooming plant and the flowers last only one evening.
If you want to see the spectacular display,
head out with a flashlight in the dark of night, or visit your garden very early in the morning.”
Traveling leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller.

When in Maui, Mama’s Fish House is top on my list. Food is so delicious and the place is a piece of heaven on earth. To say that I feel like the luckiest person is an understatement. I got to eat here without a reservation. If you know, you know. ;)
