“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?

Origami with money!  Here is a fun way to make a flower out of money for graduations, Mother’s Day, birthdays or just to say “I love you” in a unique way.  You may not want to set the kiddies loose with fives or tens but if they have a few bucks to practice on, this can be a fun thing to do with adult supervision!
