Hawai`i was my home for 5.5 years. The Aloha State is abundantly gorgeous, the weather is nearly perfect, and the aloha spirit is truly unique. If you're missing Hawai`i or preparing for a visit you'll want to catch up with Hawai`i {What to Say}, Hawai`i {What to See}, and Hawai`i {What to Eat}. The main event from our recent trip to Palm Springs, Disneyland, and Oahu was our third and final destination. We spent 8 glorious days in Hawai`i on the island of Oahu. We spent four days in Honolulu, two days at Ko Olina, and two days on the North Shore. Here I'll outline the best of the best at each location. We spent our days running around outside and eating as much as we could. You'll see how we spent our time outdoors with "Stay in the Sunshine", where and what to Eat, and how to Revisit History.

Fav 5 Travel Guides are a short list of the best things I've found to do, see, eat, or drink in a particular location. This guide is for Portugal. This guide is timed just right in anticipation for the Portuguese Wine Flights and Pastel de Nata {event} on Saturday, September 21 in Seattle, WA. Tickets for the {event} will launch next week! Look no further for more on International Travel or Fav 5 Travel Guides within the US. Portugal is a feast for the senses. The food and wine are delicious, the colors will amaze you, and there's art everywhere, including under your feet. My Fav 5 {Travel Guide} for Portugal includes:

 Earlier this year I visited Barcelona, in Catalonia, Spain. Join me in reliving the trip, recapping the very best parts, and the things I'd do differently if I ever visit again. This is the final of four posts about Barcelona. First was Barcelona {Overview}, second was Barcelona {The Sights}, third was Barcelona {Via Gaudí}, and today I give you my favorite of them all, Barcelona {The Food}. I hope this will serve as your own little getaway to Barcelona and a useful guide if you'll soon be visiting there. I arrived in Barcelona ready to eat. Before visiting I'd read this article about the Traditional Foods to eat there. We'd booked a Tapas, Tavernas, and History tour for a for some formal exploration and I was curious to learn about jamón, Spain's famed and expensive meat, and discover what tapas really was. While you relive this culinary adventure with me, keep these three traditional foods in mind: crema Catalana, churros con chocolate, and tomatoes. Let's do this! The short list of Barcelona {The Food} contains:
 One of my happiest Barcelona moments: eating a veggie sandwich on a fresh baguette on top of a mountain! Earlier this year I visited Barcelona, in Catalonia, Spain. Join me in reliving the trip, recapping the very best parts, and the things I'd do differently if I ever visit again. We're now on the third of four posts about Barcelona. First was Barcelona {Overview}, second was Barcelona {The Sights}. Now we're seeing Barcelona {Via Gaudí} and next week we'll finish with Barcelona {The Food}. I hope this will serve as your own little getaway to Barcelona and a useful guide if you'll soon be visiting there. This post is all about Antoni Gaudí and his works around Barcelona. Typically they'd be included in {The Sights} but his work is so unique and there are so, so many photos that Gaudí deserved a post all of his own. Antoni Gaudí is an amazing architect, a creative genius, and an all around interesting man. Before I visited Barcelona I'd only heard of his life's work, the Sagrada Familia, but never his name. Once there I fell in love with him and became determined to see as much of his work around the city as I could. Gaudí is like The Godfather of Barcelona, guiding you all around the city to the most colorful, creative, stunning places that he's created. The Gaudí spots we visited were:
