Escape to Black Sand Beach
Punalu’u, Hawai’i Hanging out at the secluded and serene Punaluʻu Beach beach also known as Black Sand Beach. is a magical experience that must be shared by all. Punaluʻu Beach is a beach between Pāhala and Nāʻālehu on the Big Island of the U.S. state of Hawaii.

Panama City is not just for Spring Breakers anymore!!!
Inspired by travels to Panama City, Florida. Many years ago while taking a RV trip down from Michigan to Key West Florida for a Christmas vacation, we stopped in a small little town on the Gulf that offered so much unexpected charm and beauty that my Dad claimed right then and there that we could stay right here and not continue on down south to our destination of Key West. It was a chilly 58 degrees (which seemed like a heatwave compared to the Michigan air we had just escaped days before) and he proceeded to dive right in the beautiful cool waves. I had to admit, from that moment…

Some of us have even become super familiar with the phrase “I should have known better by now”… well why do we keep on repeating the same mistakes and stumbling over the same obstacles?!?

It’s Bubblin in Dublin
A Visit To The Green Isle We here at Holiday Rising understand the meaning of tourist trap. There have definitely been a few things along the way that afterwards, we felt like really weren’t worth it. It happens. That being said, sometimes tourist traps can be worth it. Sometimes you can over think things, and try to “Be like the locals,” but you wind up missing some of those experiences that truly impress what the culture is, and miss out on a fun experience. There is a reason they are tourist traps in the first place, right? We always try to get a good mix of local knowledge, and tourist…

Grab your fried Green tomatoes and Sweet tea and come on.. If you are passing through or live anywhere near the beautiful and charming city of Charleston, you have to stop and take note.

The Battery promenade and Waterfront Park both overlook Charleston Harbor, while Fort Sumter, a federal stronghold where…
