Hawaii Sunset
I am convinced that there are no sunsets more beautiful than the ones I see when I’m in Hawaii.

Even though I was busy with various conference activities and social meetups… I still took time to stop [...]
Adventures in Hawaii

I loved the haupia – which was a jelly cube comprised of rice and coconut. They [...]

This place is so amazingly comfortable, with every amenity a Geek could hope for! The bed was comfy, the view was gorgeous and there [...]
