Changing Perspectives
I thought I would change my mind, but instead, I changed my shirt.
Aloha!
I knew there would be days like this, I just wish someone would have told me how many!
The La Haina means 'cruel sun' in the Hawaiian Language, describing the sunny, dry climate. It receives just 13 inches of rain in a year.
What a contrast from two months ago, sailing in the Inside Passage and landing in Ketchikan, Alaska—one of the wettest places in North America. The "Path of Moist Resistance" gets a whopping 162 inches of precipitation per year—that's over 13.5 feet of wet!

Climate Contrast: Hawaii vs. Alaska
Both of these places offer unique landscapes, and they stand in stark contrast to each other. While Hawaii is a tropical paradise, Alaska's natural beauty lies in its rugged, misty terrain.
The Beauty of Unexpected Discoveries
Whether it's the lush greenery of the Alaskan coastline or the dry, sunny landscapes of Hawaii, each place holds its own allure. And sometimes, it’s not just about where you are, but how you experience it.
Life’s Shifting Sands
In the end, what matters is that we embrace the unknown, knowing that every shift in location, every change in weather, reflects something deeper inside us. Change can be as simple as changing your shirt, or it can be as profound as shifting your perspective on life itself.
