One of our stops on our Road to Hana tour during our stay on Maui was at the Keanae Peninsula. A fabulous spot to see some waves, have a picnic, or just relax. I noticed this old downed tree and decided it had character. What do you think? My favs this week on Instagram […]

On multiple occasions, I’ve been asked, “Should I sign up for LifeLock?” Or, phrased differently, “Is LifeLock worth the price?” There’s no simple answer to this question about credit protection, but one thing is certain, LifeLock will be […]
