Living On Vacation

If you have ever heard the word; VACATION and Hawaii popped into your thoughts, then I have located the perfect website for your dream building, then planning, booking and making a Hawaiian Vacation a REALITY for you!

Being a cruise travel agent for several years, then planning many vacations for my family and then more planning for a few close friends, I’ve searched more vacation websites on the ole World Wide Web (www) than I care to count. Most are so commercialized and written to make EVERY destination too dreamy to pass by .. and you get the destinct feeling they are nothing more than a pack of lies.

Well, not so with this Hawaii Planning Website I found!

I actually locted it when I typed into Google Search the following question – “When is the best time to visit Hawaii?” That ALWAYS has been my first question when reserching ANY destination. Why? We want to go when the weather is decent but are willing to give a little bit in that area for NO CROWDS.

Vacation and crowds don’t mix well!

“Winning the game of life requires daring, commitment, passion, and an unquenchable spirit. While every human being has these traits inside, few put them to use, and few have the tools to do so.” ~~ James Arthur Ray

1/2 cup diced carrots
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup finely diced onion

“Balancing life is like standing on a balance beam. You must keep adjusting your body to find the center and then readjust to find it again and again.” ~ Lisa Hammond

You won’t always be able to give equal amounts of time to ALL aeras of your life that are important to you — and that’s OKAY (oh how I know this from experience)!

Balance can easily be achived by giving each area a turn in the spotlight — but not ALL at the same time.

Ingredients
5 medium plum tomatoes, halved lengthwise, seeded, and thinly sliced
1/4 red onion, peeled, halved lengthwise, and thinly sliced
1 Kirby cucumber, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
A generous drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil, about 2 tablespoons
2 splashes red wine vinegar
Coarse salt and black pepper

Directions
Dress the tomatoes, onions, and cucumber with olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and pepper.

Let stand while you prepare dinner, about 20 minutes. Re-toss and serve salad with crusty bread for mopping up juices and oil.

“Once you expand your comfort zone, it will just keep growing, and so will you!”
~~ Lisa Hammond

Try something that you’ve been afraid to do and see where it takes you. You may be surprised to discover just how brave you are!

Pull out a notepad .. quickly list five fears then decide today “to do” these five things. You CAN DO IT! I just know it!
