Dear Barry:
Finally, I have a few minutes to sit down and write again to thank you for
opening your wonderful home in Kauaii to us for a most memorable stay in
paradise. I delayed writing you because I wasn't sure I could find the right
words to adequately express my gratitude for sharing your very special
treasure with us. Everything was perfect and even exceeded our high
expectations. We lacked for nothing. Your home is so much better equipped
than my loft in L.A.--I'm ready to just move over there! Do let me know if
you need a caretaker in the future or if you decide to sell the small guest
house!
As far as phone service, neither I nor my T-mobile friend got a signal at your
place, but we picked it up at around the second bridge in towards town, I
believe, he slightly ahead of my I-phone. I don't recall using the phone much
on the island to give you a good evaluation of reception in other locations,
except for the resort at Princeville, where I was able to make a call home.
Again, thanks so much for welcoming us into your home. I felt you were
there in spirit for sure. Look forward to meeting you someday and also
having the opportunity to stay at your place in Provincetown. A special
thanks also for the discounted rate you offered and the prompt return of the
security deposit.

Hi Barry,
Thanks for your card and enclosed check.
We had a truly wonderful time at your comfortable house and loved the
freedom it allowed us for exploring the surrounding area. All my sons
agreed that the nicest beaches in Hawaii ,that they visited, were the ones
closest to us in Kauai. ( we were also on the Big Island earlier in our trip).
They jumped from the pier in Hanalei endless times . They buried each other
in the sand over and over again on Lumahai . They were forever fascinated by
the resident crabs( and fish) in the early evening at Ke'e . All the lads
( including my husband) loved the outdoor shower! I ,myself ,was partial to
the upstairs room and shower(delightful)!
I loved the sound of the rain through the night and how everything green
glistened in the morning. I also enjoyed the crisp sounds of the birds in the
trees and even the roosters began to sound melodic(!) I took many photos of
the sunsets and each is so different and so amazingly stunning . People who
see my photos do not believe that the sky can be so vibrant. I tell them "only
in Kauai" .
My husband knew about the hawaiian style guitar playing and managed to
get to a concert in Hanalei. He has become an avid fan.
We hiked 2 miles( and back) on the Kalalau trail . We visited the Kilauea
refuge and were intrigued by the nesting birds. We hiked in the Waimea
canyon and my boys experienced the thrill of the water fall. We swam and
played (on all the northern beaches around Hanalei and beyond). We ate the
most delicious fruit, fish, ice cream and smoothies.
We had an amazing , memorable vacation.
Thank you for sharing your unique home with us.
Thoughts,
Mary , Howard , Conor , Sean and Rory

Hi Barry,
We are home now and got your check and note. Thanks so much.
We had a fabulous time and really loved your house. We hope to be back! Naturally, the only bad thing was that we were not there longer. We last were in Hawaii some thirty years ago, and we wanted to visit three islands...the same three as last time. They are all so different. Kauai is so lush, and the setting of your house was ideal. We did drive to Waimea canyon one day; it's so amazing, but we also would have been happy to stay home and just luxuriate. Anyway, I'm so glad we had the chance to be there. I will definitely recommend your house to our friends. Oh...and I really liked the water color you did in the upstairs bathroom.
Yes, we met your cleaner. She was very nice. We managed to kill one of your knives cutting a carrot! (Rather large carrot.) Other than that, I think we left things the way we found them. The roosters were pretty amazing! And as my husband wrote in your guest book...we are pro Barbie!
Happy, healthy new year to you both.
Best, Ruth

Thank you for sharing the business cards. It sure helps me remember the beauty and magic amoungst all this turmoil. I do have to say we are keeping your place a guarded secret. If we gave the info to all the people who have asked - we would never be able to make a reservation again. But if you do find that there are slow times for your rental we could share the magic of 100 Shades of Green with a few anyways. Thank you again. We look very forward to out next visit.

Dear Barry and Rick,
I just wanted to let you know that we LOVED staying at
your beautiful house! We had a great vacation. We
really liked Maui, but we weren't crazy about the Big
Island. We wanted Kauai to come through, and it did!
When we got to your place, we were literally walking
around open-mouthed, and gushing about how great it
was.
The best part of the vaction was spending time
with each other, and your house was the perfect
backdrop for that. We made Shrimp Scampi and ate out
on the deck- it will be hard to forget.
Thanks so much again- I will recommend your house to
anyone who will listen.
Sincerely,
Dave Bonanno and Family

I also wanted to let you know that we ABSOLUTELY loved your home in Kauai.
What a unique place with incredible island decor. The kids loved the house
and they thought the use of surf boards was really cool! We plan to return
to Kauai and when we do, we'd love to stay at your place again. We forgot to
sign the guest book but it was the guest book that gave us the best ideas on
what to do while we were there. We did as much as we could possibly do in
the three weeks we were there and that still wasn't enough time!
Mahalo!
