in a definite sign that the slow season has officially arrived, the airlines have kicked the quickie airfare sales to the curb and extended the $29 o/w sale until october 1st.

fyi - go's website is presently showing a $39 o/w fare (for bookings made 6 months in advance), but when you fool around with the reservation system the $29 fare will pop up if seats are available.

get up and go

waimea canyon, kaua'i

luckily, the fella & i were able to take advantage of the super sale fares to the neighbor islands on this last trip home. if you haven't gotten around to booking your ticket yet, the $29 one-way airfare sale has returned so go explore the world in your backyard instead of taking yet another trip to vegas.

and if you go to kaua'i, where this photo was snapped, check out the oki diner in lihue where they whip up macadamia nut pancakes & homemade syrups that are even better than eggs 'n things!

muumuu heaven freebie

ku'uipo coral + monsterra dreaming

one of the many life meets blog moments happened on the flight home when mu'umu'u heaven was featured on hawaiian airlines' in-flight programming/magazine. it was nice to get a glimpse into life at mu'umu'u heaven which seemed to be filled with pretty girls twirling around in their fabulous skirts while a wee baby and happy dog played in the background.

and what do i find in my inbox yesterday but news of a size addition to mu'umu'u heaven's collection (extra large, natch) plus a sweet mahalo freebie for their expanding fan base.

details:

• order a one-of-a-kind skirt *or* embellished tank & receive an embellished i (heart) recycling tank top
• request sml or lrg on order form if the standard issue med/one size fits all won't work for you
• offer expires sat, sep 30th
