Don’t let the name scare you off! I was surprised my wife wanted to visit this museum with me. It is a small museum, but interesting nonetheless. Located right in Old Town Albuquerque, it is easy to find. There are, indeed, a number of rattlesnakes to view. There is one albino rattlesnake, but the original “Marilyn” has since died.…
One of the Most Picturesque Bays in the World When you come to Hanalei, you have to cross a one lane bridge. There is “local courtesy” that states that five to seven cars may cross at a time.

Our daughter, Pam, picked this helicopter out as she wanted “the open door.”The check in is close by the airport. A van takes you to the…
Sleeping Sharks, Tips on the Area Two Steps and the famous Puuhonua O Honaunau Historical site are located about twenty-two miles south of Kona on Route 11. There is a large sign to point the way on Route 160 on Keala O Keawe Road. The historical park is well marked. I would not recommend Route 160 that juts north of…
