a'a Roots Health Cafe Our first stop for today is new spot for our daily acai bowl at a'a Roots Health Cafe.  This is spot is purported to have a pretty good one. However, either they were too busy, or its just normal they forgot to add honey on all of our bowls. So while it still looks nice, it did lack a fair bit of flavour. Maybe its intentional or maybe they simply forgot because it was...

Heading to Maui The first (hopefully of many) trips in 2022 is to Maui. I'm joined on this trip by some familiar faces from a previous trip to Hawaii: Cactoose, Lebron and Antetokounmpo! In early 2022, Lebron, Antetokounmpo and I wanted to do a trip "somewhere". We originally looked at flying to San Francisco in February. However, with rumblings and news of Canada dropping its testing...
