Aloha Gosdin Ohana! Aulani Trip Review

Gosdin Ohana present’s “Aloha from Aulani” In my eyes nothing better than Walt Disney World, so in planning my family’s first trip to Disney’s Aulani Resort on the beautiful island of Oahu, I tried not to compare the two. It was pretty easy considering there’s NO Castle, NO Epcot & NO Rides unless you consider the…

Is this weird?

While at the Dollar Tree the other day, my daughter & I thought it would be funny if we gathered all the Hawaiian garb & put it on her. Then we took this picture, good times, good times!

I HATE it when #18!

1. I pay for a hefty airline ticket to Hawaii then pay separately for my luggage –$25 first bag–$35 second bag (per person *4) each way RT,  as if your going to fly with no luggage…no other option, except pay for first class either way a lot of moola…Holy Corn-meal! 2. My parakeet wakes me up with her…

I LOVE it when #10!

1. I get upgraded for free to anything without asking, because I will ask, no shame, I embarass my hubby a lot. 2. A fallen hero (military) gets the same amount of gratitude & honor as a drunken, drugged out celebrity, priorities twisted just a bit. 3. My hubby gets to go to the lake house with…
