Wisconsin

• As perpetual world travelers, ‘home’ is a tricky word and hard thing to find. But in Wisconson we think we found it….if even for just a few short months.
• On what we knew would be our last time kayaking on the lake, we certainly made the most of it.
• Finding a Wisconsin lake is like finding a prairie in Alberta. There are over 15,000 lakes in the state. And thus we took a lot of photos.

Hawaii

• Three stories of “Ha” – or how we discovered the Aloha spirit while in Maui.
• Less than two hours after landing at the Maui airport, we took off again on an excursion so see the coast of Maui from above.

• For an introverted cat lover, it does not get better than the Lanai Cat Sanctuary.
