Whenever I go somewhere new, I like to head out on a run as an excuse to explore my surroundings. On my current trip to the stunning coastline of Oahu, a “run” is interrupted almost every two minutes for photo opportunities.
I took myself off property for a few miles, checking out the local flora and fauna, and even taking a peek at the Lotte Championship on the stunning Ko Olina Golf Club.
I found myself at a dead end, as we are in a pretty residential corner of the island, and had to turn around, but my mini self-guided tour through the area was a welcome break and a busy day for my camera.
My home base for this trip happens to be on the west, dry side of the island at Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa. The resort offers a lazy river, calm lagoon for swimming, several pools, water slides, blue grottos and watersport opportunities, including paddle boarding and snorkeling. Needless to say, there are plenty of ways to stay active at the resort.

The Island of the Knights
Welcome to Rhodes, a medieval treasure beautifully preserved throughout the centuries. Rhodes is the capital of the Dodecanese, an island ideal not only for those who want to relax, but also for those looking for an action-packed holiday! With its bright green hills, rich green valleys and uninterrupted line of golden beaches, Rhodes is truly a blessed place. “The sun island” has more sunshiny days and milder temperatures throughout the year than any other location in Greece. It is, after all, one of the country’s easternmost places and among the first to welcome summer on its impressive beaches. Add in the excellent facilities for tourism, the island’s special blend of cosmopolitan and traditional, and numerous cultural and archaeological sites, the most important being the Medieval (Old) Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and you’ve got the perfect holiday destination. While on Rhodes, don’t miss a daytrip to nearby Sými. An island of sponge divers and seamen, Sými used to have 30,000 inhabitants before the Second World War and was the richest island in the Dodecanese, despite its small size. Today, Sými attracts many visitors thanks to its beautifully preserved Neo-Classical buildings and the famous Archangel Michael monastery at Panormitis.
