Allie Pleiter - Sharing my Hawaiian Adventure

Aloha, readers!

Last night my husband and I returned from a trip to Hawaii to celebrate our 30th anniversary. It was our first visit to that beautiful place, and I wanted to share some pictures with you. God's creative genius is certainly on display in those islands!

It was an amazing, restorative, grand adventure my husband and I will remember for many years to come. My July release finishes up the Matrimony Valley series, and the Colorado-based Wander Canyon series follows in February 2020, but who knows? Maybe there is a Hawaii-based series somewhere in my future.

It wasn't a perfect trip--we came home last night to a basement that had flooded while we were gone (!!).  So today is all about some nasty clean-up, but I'm determined not to let bleach and wet-vacs take away my tropical glow!

My Summer Vacation(s)

Hi everyone - Winnie Griggs here.  July was a crazy busy month for me, but in a good way.  At the beginning of the month we took a six day family vacation to Hawaii.  It was my first time there but I hope it's not my last!  The scenery was breathtaking, the beaches were beautiful and the food was wonderful.  We visited Pearl Harbor, went to a luau, toured volcano formations, visited secluded waterfalls and saw amazing foliage.

One of my favorite things that we did though, was take a helicopter tour with the doors off.  It was so exhilarating and the views were fantastic.

After a week back at home I took off again, this time for New York with my three daughters.  I'd been there before but it was the girls first trip and we determined to fit as much into the three full days they'd be there as we could.  And I must say we made a pretty good run at it.

Once they headed home it was time for me to turn my focus to the Romance Writers of America annual conference, which had me spending another six and a half days in New York.

And there you have it - my busy, fun, exhausting, exhilarating July!  So how about you - did you have the opportunity to do much travelling this summer?  What is your favorite or dream destination?
