Our initial plan is to visit only the 49 states we can explore in an RV, but
…we can’t pass up the opportunity to kick off our retirement by spending Valentine’s Day on a 15-day Princess cruise from San Francisco to Hawaii, Oahu, Kauai and MauiWe know from a prior trip that February is the peak of the humpback whale season, and Maui is the place to be. You cannot look out to sea without seeing breaching, spy hopping, flipper flapping, flukes and spoutsThe highlight is getting mugged by three pods of whales during our snorkeling trip at Molokini CraterWe also enjoy the Allerton & McBride Gardens on KauaiSteve peeks out from behind the enormous roots of a banyon tree
