Waking Up In Eden

I was so excited to stumble upon this book "Waking Up In Eden" written about the National Botanical Garden on the island of Kauai. Allerton Garden is one of the most captivating places on earth that I have visited thus far. Lucinda Fleeson the author, answered alot of my questions about the life and times of the garden. It was a story of a women in a midlife crisis living her true-life adventure.
For me a pet lover, I found it sad in the end when she ultimately moves on and leaves her "Hawaiian family" behind. Her adopted horse and the cat that adopted her .
If you have been to Allerton Garden, would like to visit it, or just love the idea of changing your life you will truly enjoy this read.

Where is your favorite beach?
Let me know.

Jeanie goes to Honolulu "1967"

My fascination of "all - things -Hawaiian" began as far back as I can remember.
This episode of "I dream of Jeanie" filmed in 1967 was just one of the sitcoms of that era that featured Hawaii.
Wow, two iconic people of the time; Barbara Eden and Don Ho.
I loved them both and was fortunate to see Don Ho perform.

Yes, I liked it!

Yes, I Need a little Aloha Right Now!
Thought I would start my first Beach Girl blog with this photo I snapped at the Grand Hyatt on Kauai.
I didn't think I was the over-the-top resort type of traveler
but this place just may have changed my mind.
