		<description><![CDATA[I'm always intrigued by the variety of stickers you see plastered on signs around Kauai, a sort of local graffiti. They're usually surf-related, but sometimes it's hard to figure out what they mean. This one was self-explanatory, but very cleverly placed:




Tamba is a small surf shop on the main highway, north of downtown Kapaa in [...]]]></description>

First off, the Light Parade in Lihue on December 7 was cancelled due to rain. I suppose with all the preparation it takes, they couldn't just hold it another [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Update: Jackson found a great home in Kalaheo thanks to the other neighbors. We plan to go see him again sometime.

This plea is mostly for Kauai residents, but it will give a "slice of life" on Kauai to others.

Last week, our neighbor Joe behind our house died quite suddenly. He was an older man who [...]]]></description>

KauaiAbundance.com




A neighbor of mine with a big yard and lots of fruit trees had the idea. He had so much fruit that he couldn't give it all away and some inevitably went to waste. Plus I [...]]]></description>

I'll be spending the holidays with my family on the mainland and won't be near a computer, hopefully.

From the tag on the new pair, I was happy to find that it is a Hawaiian brand. It always feels good to buy from local businesses, even if [...]]]></description>
