For the keiki…

The folks at Akamai Games have created some educational games to teach keiki about Hawaiian culture.  There are two games to choose from:  Pele’s Perils and Ohana Mana.

Pele’s Perils is about Hawaiian culture and the hazards of living on a volcanic island.  Ohana Mana is about Hawaiian culture and the strength of the family, as well as the dangers of living on a volcanic island.

If you’re interested in adding these games to your child’s choice of entertainment, go to Akamai Games website and order online or see if there is a retail outlet close to you that carries it.

“I like your checks!”

Filed Under Fun Stuff | Leave a Comment

Yep, I still have paper checks.  I don’t use them very often but I occasionally have to write one to a business or for a birthday gift.  I always hear the same thing “I like your checks!”  I like to share the aloha even on my checks and I found some that looked like they were all on the Big Island so I couldn’t resist.  If you’re an “old timer” who still uses paper checks and are looking for Hawaii specific checks check out this site.

Poll: What are your favorite Kauai restaurants?

Filed Under Fun Stuff | 1 Comment

Thought I’d do something a little different.  I have a few favorite restaurants on Kauai like Puka Dog in Poipu, Duke’s Canoe Club in Lihue and Brick Oven Pizza in Kalaheo.  It got me wondering what other people’s favorite Garden Island restaurants were.

So whether you’re a local or a visitor, what Kauai grinds do you crave?
