The Island of Oahu, Hawaii – Our 8 Glorious Filled Days

Aloha. I am Roxanne and I was asked by my sister Samantha over at Golden Age Traveling to write a bit about my visit to the Island of Oahu, Hawaii in August of 2015. To be perfectly honest, when she first asked me I thought how in the world could I come up with a few paragraphs about my vacation to Hawaii? Obviously, I had never been to Hawaii. Now having been there and experienced the true beauty of the island of Oahu, and learning just a little bit about the natives of Hawaii and how they live and the pride they hold for their beautiful state, has left me in awe.

Avalon, Catalina Island in California – Top 7 Things to See and Do

Living in southern California for most of my life, I have spent a few weekends in Avalon, Catalina. It’s only a short 1-hour boat ride from Long Beach, but it seems like a world away. I love that it is so small and everyone gets around on golf carts. It definitely seems like a less stressful life than living in other parts of southern CA. Either way, it is a great place to relax and enjoy some free time.

Here are my top 7 suggestions to see and do while visiting Avalon, Catalina. Continue reading “Avalon, Catalina Island in California – Top 7 Things to See and Do”

The Museum of Flight in Tukwila, WA – Travel Through Time and Space

While we were in Seattle in May of 2016 checking out the Space Needle, Microsoft, Boeing, and Pike Place Market, my husband toured the Museum of Flight in Tukwila, Washington. Here are his memories from his visit. The Museum of Flight in Tukwila, Washington is one of the largest aviation museums in the world. It is located next to Boeing Field and one of Boeing’s manufacturing plants, so many classic Boeing aircraft are of course represented, but the collection contains many others.
