I was talking with a client recently about a trip she was thinking of taking to Hawaii. It reminded me of the time we went to Maui, which is one of my favorite destinations. If you have the opportunity to stay overnight on the ‘Road to Hana’, you get see a lot of places the day-trippers miss. The Red Sand Beach was more of a secret before smartphones and GPS, but it’s still well worth a stop.

I had the opportunity to visit Costa Rica in December of 2020 as my first pandemic travel experience. A lot of people think my trips are all fun, but this was a business trip. In 10 days I slept in 6 different hotels and conducted site inspection at another dozen. Ok, it was fun too!
