“How did you find this place?” I asked the fair and industrious Trudy who has researched and planned and booked all our travel to Kaua‘i and Hawai‘i.

Our condo on Kaua‘i was nice, but I tell you, this Keauhou Beach Resort was fancy.

I mean palm trees swaying against a deep blue sky and white clouds rolling by

and a heiau just walking distance from the lobby

and the deep blue sea breaking on black lava beaches

and spacious rooms and porches with a view

and verandas with broad ceilings shading you from the sun and a sea breeze blowing off the water and ceiling fans turning slowly overhead and rocking chairs looking out beyond the breaking surf and gardens and ponds where you can sit and relax

and lounge chair near the beach to recline in as the sun goes down.

We are … how shall I put it? … a frugal kind of family, and this kind of place was an unexpected (and quite welcome) luxury.

“How did you find this place?”

“I don’t remember,” Trudy said, “but it was a really good deal.”
