Leisure pastimes Lest you think we spent all our time scurrying around Kauaʻi, let me assure you we did our fair share of lounging around the pools and on our lānaʻi or just sitting under a ceiling fan, listening to Hawaiian music while reading a novel. The miniature golf course offered several opportunities to hone our skill. Then came the evening “males vs. fe- males” card game competition. Males eventually came back from a 4-0 defi cit to win 5-4 on our last day on Kauaʻi. Kauaʻi is called the Garden Isle for good reason. Most of the places you may visit on the island are indeed covered in vegetation of every shade of green you can imagine. Multi-colored bougainvillea hedges surround many properties. The bright orange fl owers of the African tulip are prominent in all the forested areas. Other trees offer gor- geous fl owers of many bright hues. The monkey pod trees cover such a gigantic area that one tree can cover a couple of aisles in a parking lot. A mile-long eucalyptus “tree tun- nel” lines Maliuhi Road on the way to Kōloa and Poʻipū. Pineapple baron Wal- ter McBryde was responsible for plant- ing these 500 trees as a gift to the com- munity in 1911. I hope reading this gets you excited to visit Kauaʻi. It is a great place to ex- plore and to rest your weary bones—and another advantage to visiting Kauaʻi is you will meet some of the nicest people in the world. Aloha!
