Second day of my 2023 Memorial Day trip to West Virginia as I reached New River Gorge National Park. The weather forecast indicated rain for the next day, so I decided to check out most of the park’s popular hiking trails today, together with the nearby Hawks Nest State Park of West Virginia.

For 2023’s Memorial Day weekend, I made a trip to West Virginia, checking out the country’s newest National Park, New River Gorge. This post was about the Friday before the weekend, when I made the drive from Washington DC to Summersville, WV, while stopping at Davis, WV along the way to check out Blackwater Falls State Park.

March 2023, I made a trip to Las Vegas on some business errands. This would be a post of all the things that happened on the sidelines.

The final day of our 2023 trip to Hawaii as we flew back from Maui to Washington DC.

Seventh (and last) day of my January 2023 trip to Hawaii. We would spend the day in Haleakalā National Park, starting with its famous sunrise and followed by an epic hike through its volcanic crater.

Sixth day of my January 2023 trip to Hawaii. We would spend the day with a commercial boat tour snorkeling around some coral reefs off the coast of Maui, while admiring the sights of some humpback whales along the way.

Fifth day of my January 2023 trip to Hawaii. We would spend the day on a road trip driving "Road to Hana", the crown-jewel of Hawaii driving tours.

Third (and fourth) day of my January 2023 trip to Hawaii. My friend and I spent the morning visiting Diamond Head Crater, before hopping onto an afternoon flight to the island of Maui. (For the fourth day, I had a crash course on paddleboard surfing, before a mechanic issue with the rental car ruined the remainder of the day.)
