What to Expect when your Expat-ing.

The countdown is on! We are starting to get things moving for our big move.  Really I’m planning more for our US “farewell” tour, which you can read about here. The planning is a nice distraction from the reality that we are moving abroad. With the house on the market and the husband house hunting in …

⬇️ Trips we’ve actually taken
The Ko’Olina Lagoons make the perfect water playgr The Ko’Olina Lagoons make the perfect water playground. The wave breaks create a calm area for ocean swimming with a sandy bottom. We like to put floats in on one side and make our way across the lagoon. The walking path along the lagoons is perfect for taking a stroll. The only downside is the parking situation and the lack of affordable public parking. #koolina #luckywelivehawaii #beachtrip #bestofoahu
We are on “Plan C” over here after our @norwegianc We are on “Plan C” over here after our @norwegiancruiseline cruise on Pride of America had to be pushed due to the hurricane, our safety and port availability. We are supposed to board Tuesday now. Meanwhile, we are making the most of Grandma and Grandpa in town and having a fall beach trip. How can anyone be mad with beautiful scenery like this. #hawaii #luckyweliveinhawaii #beach-time #familytime
One of the crazy parts of Military Life has been t One of the crazy parts of Military Life has been the opportunities the kids get to try new things. When they took into to sailing in January, I had no idea it would lead to Sundays spent at Yacht Clubs. The Bullship race was a great way to kick off race sailing. This for fun race does not take its self seriously. You compete for awards focused on being in the middle of the pack, coming in last and spending the most time capsized. Thanks to the @pearlharboryachtclub for welcoming the boys and giving them a place to try new things and find an amazing group of friends. #luckywelivehawaii #sailing #hawaii #kaneohebay #teensports
The Honolulu Botanical Gardens offer the BEST clas The Honolulu Botanical Gardens offer the BEST classes! I took my MIL to a lei making class. We leavened about weaving our flowers. She created this amazing one with red and green flowers. I worked on a much smaller delicate blue and yellow situation. I highly recommend checking out the botanical garden for classes for both visitors and locals alike. #leimaking #luckyweliveinhawaii #hawaiilife #flowers
The most stunning sunset tonight! It’s so nice t The most stunning sunset tonight! It’s so nice that saying yes to an after dinner sunset beach swim is an easy thing to do here. Everyone will sleep soundly tonight and I’ll be thinking about the colors of this dreamy sunset. #luckywelivehonolulu #beachtime #sunsets #travel #parenting
Polynesian Cultural Center Field trip! A hands o Polynesian Cultural Center Field trip! A hands on field trip to the Polynesian Cultural Center on Oahu. You get to interact and learn about all the Polynesian Islands. It’s part theme park, part living history museum. A great place to visit with friends. Run mostly by the BYU Hawai’i students. A huge thanks to everyone who made it happen! (Photo credit goes to Lisa!) #luckyweliveinhawaii #homeschooling #workdschooling #fieldtrips

The Bishop Museum is one of my favorite places on The Bishop Museum is one of my favorite places on island! They do these night “the Stars Tonight” live shows in the planetarium that end on the lawn with the Hawai’i Astronomical Society. My kids call it night school. 🏫 It’s always a good time. You never know what you might learn about. There is always some science and some Hawaiian cultural stuff, legends and cool photos of space! #luckywelivehonolulu #hawaiihomeschool #homeschoollife #honolulu #teachthemwell

We are safe and dry, though a lot of the beautiful We are safe and dry, though a lot of the beautiful state of Hawai’i is not. The Big Island took the brunt of the storm, with massive damage being reported. Parts of Oahu are without power still. But as the last bands move through our area the birds are out back, flowers are all over the street and neighbors are out cleaning up yards. #lala #hawaii #luckyweliveinhawaii #flowers #storm
We are always trying to take advantage of where we We are always trying to take advantage of where we live. So when we did our back to school planning, time by the water was on everyone’s “things to do more” list. Last night we got this gorgeous view when we turned Henry’s run into a reason to meet him at the beach, watch some planes take off, enjoy this beautiful snorkel and of course everyone ended up in the water. #dailyroutine #luckyweliveinhawaii #hickamafb #hawaiilife
Camp Feast! I have a friend who is a gatherer. Ea Camp Feast! I have a friend who is a gatherer. Each month she puts together a beautiful, themed, open invitation, neighborhood party. She is the most amazing hostess, putting everyone at ease and covering all the little details. Shes a real diamond and a genuine friend. Thankful everyday for all the ways this community pours into each other. #clubfeast #milspouse #dinnerparty
A smack of Jellyfish! 🪼 We were lucky enough to A smack of Jellyfish! 🪼 We were lucky enough to come across this group of jellyfish. The current and tides bring them into the bay. The narrow opening makes it difficult to leave, so they end up in a smack! From the high decks of the ship it looks like a cloud or discoloration in the water. When you get closer to the waterline - from the skiff or kayak - it’s a whole new world. #jellyfish #alaska #uncruise #alaskawithkids #nature
We woke up one morning to crystal clear water. Ful We woke up one morning to crystal clear water. Full reflections on the water while we sailed by. I’ve never experienced anything like it. We spent a lot of time in the wheelhouse with Captain Andy, even after years of sailing these waters, his breath was taken away. The smaller ship meant we could get into some of these small bays and sail past this landscape slowly and close to waterline. #alaska #uncruise #alaskawithkids #reflection @uncruise
Everyday with @uncruise is a new adventure. We w Everyday with @uncruise is a new adventure. We woke up one morning surrounded by sea otters, then headed out to explore the tidal pools. An afternoon skiff ride afforded us viewing opportunities of seals, sea lions, sea otters and more whales. We ended the evening with a beach party before heading back to the boat and sailing off into the sunset. #travelwithkids #explorealaska #alaska #nature #travelig
The approach to Le Conte Glacier. We just spent The approach to Le Conte Glacier. We just spent an amazing 7 days in Alaska with @uncruise. The small ships tuck into places larger ships can’t go. The ships are set up to explore Alaska in a way we’ve not done before, with tons of adventure. I can’t wait to show you what our last seven days looked like. They were full of bushwhacking, bones, whales and lots of cold water play! This entry to LeConte glacier though was a highlight for me. #alaska #travelwithkids #alaskawithkids #smallshipcruising #travelgram
A float plane is a quintessential Alaskan experien A float plane is a quintessential Alaskan experience. It’s a wonderful way not only to get to a destination, but also to take in the vastness and scale of this amazing place. #alaskatravel @rustsflyingservice #comeflywithme #familytravel #alaska
Alaska. You are gorgeous. Thankful for the time Alaska. You are gorgeous. Thankful for the time we have here just exploring and enjoying nature. The @redoubtbaylodge is a wonderful jumping off point for a bit of relaxed adventures. We’ve been able to view bears, kayak, and learn to salmon fish. #alaskalife #familytravels #nature_obsession #visitalaska
This morning we watched a mama bear and her two cu This morning we watched a mama bear and her two cubs wander across the bog at Redoubt Bay. During the summer salmon run, bears gather here to feed. The quiet coves and wetlands become an important place for mothers raising their cubs. We’re spending a few nights at Redoubt Bay Lodge, which means we get to slow down, head out on the water, and watch these amazing animals from a respectful distance as they go about their day. #RedoubtBay #Alaska #BearViewing #FamilyTravel #Wildlife
We’ve officially joined the 30% club. 🤍 Only abou We’ve officially joined the 30% club. 🤍 Only about 30% of summer visitors get to see Denali fully out, and today we got one of those rare, crystal-clear views…from the Alaska Railroad. At 20,310 feet, Denali is the tallest mountain in North America. Today it looked more like a painting than a mountain. Watching her appear outside the train window is one of those moments we’ll be talking about for a long time. #Denali #DenaliNationalPark #Alaska #AlaskaRailroad #FamilyTravel @alaskarailroad
