About this listen

Whether you’re planning a honeymoon, anniversary trip, or just a much-needed escape, this episode breaks down what makes each island special—and how to do it right.


I'm just back (ish) from a 19-night adventure to, around, and back from Hawaii, I’m sharing the best moments, biggest surprises, and everything in between. From snorkeling with manta rays to discovering Spam musubi (yes, it’s delicious), to watching steam rise from the edge of a sleeping volcano—this isn’t your average island recap. Hear what makes each Hawaiian island unique, how sea days on SilverSea’s Silver Moon became a highlight, and why one taxi driver left us speechless (and not in a good way). If you’ve ever dreamed of Hawaii or wondered if cruising’s the way to do it—this episode’s for you.
