Sky High Fun

Happiness High above Haleakala thumbnail

It’s hauntingly beautiful, immensely geographically and culturally significant, and home to more adrenaline-boosting activity options than you could cram into a week. The massive Haleakala volcano is Maui’s highest peak and makes up 75% of the island’s landmass — Haleakala is Maui, in so many ways. Hiking through the Haleakala National Park was one of the…

Adventures Off The Strip: Helicoptering Over The Grand Canyon thumbnail

Okay, so you’ve read quite a bit about my trip to Las Vegas with Travel Nevada (not to be confused with my trip to Las Vegas with my girlfriends a month before — I told you, I’m an addict!) I ziplined Boulder Canyon, I visited a winery, I saw a Cirque show, I toured a brothel…

The Strip From Above: A Las Vegas Helicopter Tour thumbnail

After our revelry on Friday, we didn’t quite drag ourselves out of hotel until the sun was setting once again. But we had quite the motivation — we were about to fly over The Strip on a Las Vegas Helicopter Tour. When we were greeted at check-in with champagne, we knew this was our kind of…
