Oahu Hawaii

Trip Playlist

Music has always played such a large role in my life, motivating me to push forward, easing the pain of depression, or to heighten a current experience, the songs subtly instill the emotions connected to the memories. For me a trip playlist does two things, first it sets the tone for the journey and adds to the current experience. But …

Why You’ve Got To Rent A Convertible In Maui

JJ Sereday March 2, 2018

Car rentals depend on so many factors, sometimes I want the bare minimum and others I’ve got to make sure it’s got four wheel drive, tow kit, and the whole package.

Top 3: Experiences From My First Trip To Oahu Hawaii

JJ Sereday January 5, 2013

One week in Oahu is definitely enough time to cover the island. It’s pretty easy to find awesome things to do and definitely helps when you have friends or family to visit. Certainly made our lives easier navigating and making group decisions. But that can be also a challenge. The more people in your group the harder it can be to find things to do that everyone loves. There were definitely things I wish I did on our visit but I still had a blast relaxing and adopting the island mentality… which is definitely challenge for a New Yorker like me.
