East Austin after 3 p.m. is one of our favorite food neighborhoods in Texas, because the east side does happy hour like a full contact sport. Within a few walkable blocks of East 6th Street you can hit James Beard caliber tacos, $5 ramen snacks, backyard bars with live bands, and one of the best […]

Live Oʻahu surf report updated every morning. Face heights for north, south, east and west shores, tides, wind, and today’s safest bet. The post Oʻahu Surf Report: Today’s Conditions on Every Shore appeared first on WANDERLUSTYLE – Hawaii Travel & Lifestyle Blog.
The wind hits you first. You walk up the short paved path at the Nuʻuanu Pali Lookout, come around the low stone wall, and the trade winds pour straight up the cliff face hard enough to lean into. Then you look out and the entire windward side of Oʻahu drops open below you: Kāneʻohe, Kailua, […]
The Museum of Ice Cream in Austin is the pinkest building at The Domain, and whether it belongs on your itinerary depends entirely on who is in your travel party. We are a family that will happily drive 10 miles (16 km) north of downtown for unlimited ice cream, so we went in with high […]
December might be the most underrated month to spend in the islands. Back on the mainland the malls are freezing and gray, and here we are stringing lights on the lānai in shorts and slippers, watching the surf get bigger by the week. Christmas in Hawaiʻi looks nothing like a snow globe, and that is […]
Austin surprised us. We flew in expecting good barbecue and live music, and we left already planning the next trip, because this city stacks free swimming holes, a million plus bats, and some of the best food in Texas into one very walkable, very friendly package. We based ourselves downtown, spent our days bouncing between […]
Drive as far west as the road goes on Oʻahu and you run out of pavement twice, once on the North Shore past Dillingham Airfield and once on the leeward coast past Mākua. Both roads dead-end at the same wild place from opposite directions, because no road was ever built around the island’s westernmost corner. […]

There’s a lot of eSIM companies in the world. They all work a similar way: you download their app, pick your package, install the eSIM into your smartphone, and off you go. There’s many I like. But one I like more the rest is Holafly and I’ve been using their eSIMs for years. I find […]
Fourteen thousand blocks of coral, four grass churches before it, a king’s words that became the state motto, and the royal tomb in the yard. The full story of Kawaiahaʻo Church, plus how to visit. The post Kawaiahaʻo Church: The Coral Church of the Aliʻi (1842) appeared first on WANDERLUSTYLE – Hawaii Travel & Lifestyle […]
Kailua has no shortage of breakfast lines, but only one place in town starts your morning the way a Singapore kopitiam does, and that is Cafe Kopi. Tucked on Kihapai Street a few blocks from the beach traffic, this family run cafe pairs French style pastries with the flavors owner Jeanne Ng grew up on […]
