Sleepless in Seattle

When you're used to island life closing up shop around 7pm, it's quite the experience to spend time in a city with a real nightlife. Seattle is a beautiful city during the day, but it's downright magical at night. It wasn't insomnia that kept me up...it was just the desire to soak up the magic.

Eighty-Seven Years Young

The Maui County Fair as seen from the Ferris Wheel
The ingredients to a great County Fair are pretty much the same anywhere you go: scream-inducing rides, a colorfully lit carnival atmosphere, a 4H tent that smells like the farm, sticky cotton candy, live music, educational exhibits, blue ribbon awards, cheap food, and great people watching. Maui's had it all for 87 years.
