On the last day of our Maui trip, we went on a snorkeling excursion that we arranged only a day ahead of time. There were basically two choices of trips to take. Both went to Molokini, and the only decision was whether to then head to Lanai or to “Turtle Town”. Since one of my [...]
Word had already spread before we even left the island. I guess it’s OK to talk about it since the cat is already out of the bag — so to speak. I admit it. I participated.
The Travel Channel’s World’s Best program describes Little Beach as “Maui’s unofficial clothing-optional beach” and rates it as Number 10 [...]
The alarm clock on the bedside table woke up, issuing forth soft Hawaiian music, soothing at most hours but not at 1:00 a.m. Surprisingly, we’d chosen to have our tropical sleep interrupted at that early hour; the bus from Mountain Riders was due to arrive 45 minutes later to take us to their base camp [...]
I certainly don’t place myself into the same basket as money-grubbing charlatans such as self-proclaimed psychic John Edwards or a certain ex-Playmate-turned-seer, but I’ve had more than a fair share of unexplainable phenomena.

Monica. My first thought was my wife because I want to share life experiences with her and would want the companionship, but that would [...]
On April 16, I unsuccessfully tried to find a geocache called Little Liz in Fremont, California. My experience was very creepy:
Well, less of a “couldn’t find it” and more of a “gave up before I could get there” kind of cache today. Even if the ground had not been covered in up to a foot [...]
Recently, I had the opportunity to join a talent scout company as a modeling scout. Sure, I have no experience in the field, but the job posting on monster.com stated that I’d receive training, benefits, and a competitive salary plus commission. The Assistant Director of Scouting apologized via email for the short notice of the [...]
My family busied themselves in the living room, knowing that the two-hour-long task I was about to undertake would require my full and total concentration. I sat nervously at my keyboard, anxiously awaiting an instant message from a stranger I had never met or even spoken with. For the third time, I needlessly rechecked my [...]
