An Honest Take on Great Vacations
Profile: Laura Charon has had an online presence since 2000, blogging at Snerkology and various associated websites over the years. She is a native of Maine, and currently resides in Arizona. Her “day” job is in Supply Chain Management in the semiconductor industry. At any given moment Laura can be found with her nose stuck in front of the computer, in a good book, or behind the lens of her camera. She and her husband are enjoying a renaissance of their honeymoon, as the children have both grown up (well, mostly) and moved out of the house. Laura’s Favorite Vacation: Well, my favorite type of vacation is a road trip. However, our most memorable vacation would probably have to be the trip to Maui that my husband, my daughter and I took in 2003. We spent ten days doing everything that is possible to do on the island - luaus, parasailing, snorkeling, a helicopter tour, a sunset dinner cruise, shopping, drinking(!), a drive along the Road to Hana, and a day trip to Oahu to visit Pearl Harbor. We dearly hope to go back to the island in the very near future - this time, just the two of us!
