Film Set on Kauai
Bruce Willis and Kevin Costner on Kauai Bruce Willis is currently on Kauai shooting his new film “Man of War”. This $70 million movie will be filming on island through August.

Hawaii Economy Strong Economic forecaster predict a 1.3% growth in Hawaii's economy this year, as well as a 3.5% increase in visitor arrivals, with neighbor island travel leading the way. YEA KAUAI! Who Does These Studies, Anyway? A recent study of islands around the world concluded that Kauai, while not being perfect (who is?) is close to perfect. The reasons given were our emphasis on agriculture (one sugar cane producer remaining and lots of coffee), controlled growth (no buildings higher than a coconut tree - no kidding), general cleanliness (just try and find any rubbish along the road and absolutely no billboards) and its friendly people.

 Nineteen new palm trees were added and two of our large royal palms are now in new locations. In addition, hundreds of new plants have been added everywhere on the property. An entirely new irrigation system was installed by Kyle Oshima, with new timers, valves, pop up sprinkler heads and drip lines. Kyle and his crew are also responsible for maintaining the property in its wonderful condition. Phase two will include completion of a parking area in front of the new 2307 building, a winding sidewalk down the left hand side of the property, new entrances to the Coral and Dolphin Villas and a widening of the main driveway that goes up to the 2315 building. (This will be especially welcome to our returning guests who had to back down the old driveway at night. YIKES!) Additional planting will be done in the front, side and rear of the property and a small water feature added in back. Last but not least an entirely new landscape lighting system from Kilohana Lighting here on Kauai will be added with path lights and up lights. We're in the process of taking new pictures, which should be posted to the web site in another 30 days. We will also be including photos of the new Beachcomber Villa, whose first guest Leslie from Dallas, Texas just raved about her accommodations. The long delayed Royal Palm Villa should be ready for occupancy in another two weeks and we'll post photos of it as well. We'll give you another update in our next issue of FYI in June/July. We anticipate that the entire project will be completed in time for Holiday Season beginning December 15th.

Egypt's Great PyramidsWhile gathering the votes, the teacher noted that one quiet student hadn't turned in her paper yet. So she asked the girl if she was having trouble with her list. The girl replied, "Yes, a little. I couldn't quite make up my mind because there were so many." The teacher said, "Well, tell us what you have, and maybe we can help." The girl hesitated, then read, "I think the Seven Wonders of the World are: 1. to touchThe room was so full of silence you could have heard a pin drop. Those things we overlook as simple and "ordinary" are truly wondrous.

Returns
Mark
your calendars for June 2nd. That's the date of the annual Taste
of Hawaii Rotary Benefit featuring the top 50 chefs in Hawaii. Gates
open at Smiths Tropical Paradise at noon. This event has grown so
large that it is now hard to visit all the food booths, taste all the wine
and beer and listen to all the different entertainment in four or five
hours. This really is an event not to be missed if you are on island.
