    This episode of Rare Air is a time capsule from Caneel Bay in July, 2017… two months before Hurricane Irma hit, leading to the resort’s immediate closure. Today, it’s still closed, and its future uncertain. Who would have guessed?

    Rare Air Episode 35

    With this installment, the Rare Air encapsulation of our July, 2018, trip to Hawaii’s Big Island is now complete. May the artifacts from those memorable days and nights dance around in our collective consciousness forever. It was an exotic continuation of our adventures started in 2012, when we first set out to explore America and its National Parks together with our kids. The “trip of a lifetime” for Beth and me, it played out beautifully, ending with us all coming home to Asheville… as Amelia and Riley readied for their high school senior and freshmen years, respectively.
