Sam and I arrived in Kona today. Picked up our jeep and couldn’t figure out how to turn on the lights lol. A beautiful town – we picked up some vegan wraps from a little place called Cultivate and ate on the balcony of our Airbnb while gentle rain pattered off the awning above us. […]

Sam and I closed our honeymoon out with 4 days in Positano. We went in October (considered shoulder season) and I’m glad we did. Positano wasn’t too crowded, and it still got hot-hot in the afternoons, enough to warrant a dip in the cold ocean water a few times. I’ve tried to write about our […]
