Here’s what she got up to in San Francisco on her recent visit courtesy of the State of California. Among the amazing experiences were some we’d never heard of.

Maui needs help. It needs more visitors as many have not returned over the past two years since wildfires razed the historic township of Lahaina, formerly the Royal seat of Hawaiian power. Helen Hayes was invited last week to visit Hawaii, and in the first of a number of reports she gives her impressions of Maui, and the good news is there is a lot of rebuilding underway. However, Maui is a big island, and there is so much to see and do, with locals urging Australians to come back to support the local visitor economy. And Travel Writers Radio is right behind you Maui. aquaaston.com; gohawaii.com/au

#Worth1000Words – this image is from Kristin Henning and it was taken at Vail Colorado. Here’s Kris’ explanation of the photo: a Vail Mountain gondola over the fast-moving Gore Creek, Vail Village, Colorado. The famous ski resort of Vail, Colorado, turns its attention to other outdoor activities in the summer. The surrounding White River National Forest in the Rocky Mountains provides a natural playground for hiking, biking, rafting, fly fishing, and camping. Meanwhile, Vail runs these gondolas up the mountain for assorted family fun like a giant coaster, tubing, climbing, zip-lining and nature walks. After a pause for the spring melt, Vail Village and all its restaurants come back to life.
Yes Kris, we think it is #Worth1000Words.Read More
