Aloha, friends! Can you believe we’ve reached the final chapters of this beautiful 11-day Hawaiian adventure guide? My heart is always a little full and a little heavy when we pull into our last port, but if there was ever a place to fall completely in love with the islands one last time, it’s Kaua'i.

Aloha again, friends! If you’ve been following along on our 11-day Hawaiian journey, you know we’ve already seen some of the most breathtaking sights God has tucked away in the Pacific.

If you’ve been following along with our 11-day Hawaii itinerary, you know we’ve already seen some magic, but today is truly something special. As the NCL Pride of America glides into the port of Hilo on the Big Island, you’ll notice a shift. While the other islands are famous for their golden sands, Hilo is the soul of the "Wild Side." It’s lush, it’s rainy, it’s vibrant, and it’s home to some of t

Now, as we sail the final stretch between Ketchikan and Vancouver, the world seems to slow down. This isn’t just another day at s
