BORDERS BOOKS, MUSIC AND CAFE - In addition to a wide selection of books and music of Hawaii, we found the Cafe to be a wonderful place to get a quick bite to eat. The ambiance is very satisfying. Books? You can find "Holy Man," a book about Father Damien of Molokai written by Gavan Daws. Music? Try "Makalupua 'Oe" by Frank Kawai Hewett (cassette only), or "Hui Ohana" by Hui Ohana, or "ka pilina" by Teresa Bright and Kawaikapu Hewett, or if you're ready for it ... "Hawaiian Nation - A Call for Hawaiian Sovereignty," by The Music ("Dear Mr. President" may open your eyes and blur your vision for some time)!
BUBA BURGERS - In the days immediately following Hurricane Iniki (9/11/92) feeding the thousands of survivors, residents and tourists, became a major problem. Without electricity there is no refrigeration. Without refrigeration food quickly spoiled. To avoid waste, Bubba Burgers held an outdoor barbeque, offering free food and drinks to anyone and everyone. This was typical of the kind of Aloha Spirit we experienced wherever we went. As a result, we never miss making Bubba Burgers a special stop every time we return to Kauai. Bubba's calls itself "A world famous old fashioned hamburger joint and proclaims, "We relish your buns" and " We cheat tourists, drunks, & attorneys." They are open 10:30 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. Try the unique "Bubba Burger" without lettuce and tomato because "Lettuce and tomato are grossly overpriced (75¢) at this joint for a reason!" The reason is a BB tastes better without lettuce and tomato (really). What more could you ask of a place that boasts, "Prices subject to change based on Customers attitude!" and "Bubba refuses to serve any burger costing less than a can of dog food."
COCONUT INFO PRODUCTS PAGE - An interesting site with Hawaiian related computer products like the Hawaiian Language CD; The Hawaiian Hula CD (Hula photographs); Click History, a wonderful tool for educators, students, media journalists, event coordinators and trivia buffs.

HALE MAKANA OF HANS & KAREN HELLRIEGEL - Early one morning, my wife and I met Hans and Karen on the beach. By way of our morning chats (spread over a couple of weeks) we learned they operate a vacation cottage called Hale Makana (House on the Hill). Hans is a photographer who also has a photography business on Kauai (and in Seattle, Washington) called "Aloha Kauai Fantasy Weddings," including all "Photography and Wedding Arrangements." We've seen examples of Han's photography and been to the Hale Makana Guest House and can recommend each. Among other items, Hans and Karen offer a Complete Fantasy Wedding package that includes air fare from the West Coast, wedding photography, a carriage ride for two, Minister, Wedding Video, helicopter flights and 7 nights at the Hale Makana Guest House and more!

MARK DANIELS-ARTIST - MARK DANIELLS is an artist living on the North Shore of Kauai, in the beautiful town of Hanalei. His web site features a collection of tropical watercolors and limited edition prints. My wife and I first discovered Mark's watercolors and met his wife, the year of hurricane Iniki. Mark has a wonderful home right off the main road of Hanalei directly across the street from the Hanalei School and an adjacent studio gallery (which he built himself). You can't miss it! Visitors are welcome to drop in, talk with him and see him working on his latest creations. His wife runs a child care business next to the studio so someone is almost always there
PARADISE MUSIC - Billed as "World's Largest Hawaiian Music Store."

Thanks Paradise Music!
