    We Took PacWhale Eco-Adventures Sunset Dinner Cruise

    Still recovering from the end of vacation on Maui, but I wanted to say how much we enjoyed a dinner cruise/sunset whale watch last Friday night. No, I did not take this picture, the sneaky cheeky whales were a little farther away. But dinner, catered by Threes, was delicious. The featured whale tail image was taken with a Canon Rebel off Kauai 12 years ago.   ”Go with the Experts on Maui’s #1 Rated Whale Watch and Snorkel Cruises.

    A local bike riding friend remarked today that he feels like he’s living on a blue island. I made sure he sees this.   ”JB Pritzker trolled the president on Friday by claiming he planned to rename Lake Michigan as Lake Illinois and annex Green Bay.”   Link: Illinois Gov.
