It was a blessing being able to tak my mom (or as most people like to say, my sister) to Maui, Hawaii for her 50th birthday. We had a great time experiencing the warm water and our first helicopter ride with Blue Hawaiian Helicopters and our guided tour of Road to Hana.
I figured my fear of heights would cripple the ability to have fun but it was actually a worth-while experience! I didn’t even get motion sickness (for those who know me). Besides the gnarly, oversized and scary bug bites I got, it was one for the books!
