Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah, Zip-A-Dee-A My oh my, what a wonderful day Sorry for the long lay off dear blog readers. Things got very busy in my life. Still that’s no excuse. I know some of you have been wondering what happened on our third day on the Garden Isle. Well wonder no more! Here’s the recap! Sunday was probably the day many of us were looking forward to because Sunday was the day we were going to go ziplining! If you’re unfamiliar…
When you see Hanalei by moonlight you will be in Heaven by the sea. Every breeze, every wave will whisper, “You are mine, don’t ever go away”. Day two started nice and late (we didn’t leave the house until 11am) and since we were already pretty far up north we decided to visit Hanalei and continue until we hit the end of the road.

There’s an island across the sea, beautiful Kauai, beautiful Kauai. And it’s calling, just calling to me, beautiful Kauai, beautiful Kauai. This year for our annual Ignite trip we decided to go to the beautiful island of Kauai. Growing up my father (and mother) worked for Aloha Airlines so we spent many a day on Kauai with my Uncle Alan and Aunty Audrey. In fact, during the summer between my freshmen and sophomore year I even spent the entire summer…

Up until then I had only gone to the Kansai area, but due to a slight scheduling conflict our missions team couldn’t go to Kansai and we ended up partnering with a church in Sapporo called Church on the Rock. While I was there I had the privilege of meeting some great people including a woman named Junko. Throughout the years Junko and I kept…
It’s not everyday you can say that you’ve had a hand in creating history (other than the obvious everything you do technically is a part of some sort of history). But today Boston College won the National Championship in men’s hockey at the Frozen Four in Detroit, Michigan. Yay Boston College! So what does that have to do with history? Well how about this. The season they win the National Championship is the same season that Keao and I visited…
One of the great joys of traveling is trying out different restaurants that you wouldn’t normally have a chance to try out in Hawaii. Keao and I watch a lot of reality TV and so we’ve had the chance to eat at a few celebrity chefs’ restaurants. During this trip to Las Vegas we decided to splurge (we don’t normally eat at such fancy places) and try out Tom Colicchio’s craftsteak. Tom Colicchio is the head judge of Bravo TV’s…
