Kauai Lifestyle - Updates on Kauai Happenings 9/16/09

HAPPY TALK LOUNGE RE-OPENS:

Many north shore residents (and visitors) were happy to hear that the "Happy Talk Lounge" re-opened at the Hanalei Bay Resort. A favorite spot for watching incredible sunsets and hearing great music (from Hawaiian night to Jazz night), the lounge is open once again offering food, beverage and entertainment. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are available and they offer a "to go" menu as well. They are also featuring nightly entertainment including an Aloha Friday Happy Hour with Hawaiian music, Hanalei Hula on Wednesday nights, "Kauai-it Music" on Saturday, and Sunday Jazz night.

MITZI GAYNOR RETURNS TO KAUAI:

Mitzi Gaynor will be returning to Kauai for the first time since 1957-58. Star of "South Pacific," she is visiting the island to attend the 50th anniversary celebration of the movie (which was filmed on Kauai). Remember, "I'm gonna wash that man right out of my hair?" That was filmed at Lumahai. And, of course, who can forget "Bali Hai is calling..." (our Mount Makana at the end of the road)?

Mitzi will be the leading attraction at two special events during her stay. One will be at the Grand Opening reception at the long-awaited St. Regis Princeville Resort. The other event will be presented by the Kauai Visitors Bureau. Entitled "An Afternoon with Mitzi Gaynor," it will be held at the Kauai Marriott Resort & Beach Club. Open to the public, tickets are $20 and proceeds benefit the Kauai Museum. For more information, call (808) 245 3971.

PRINCEVLLE's MAKAI GOLF COURSE RENOVATION:

An August update from the Head Golf Professional indicated that the opening of the course for play will likely be later in the year. The work on the Ocean Course was scheduled for completion last month with the grassing of #5. Then, the undertaking of grassing on #8 Lakes as #1, 2, and 9 have been completed and are in early grow-in stage. Irrigation, trenching, installation & "buttoning up" have been completed on the Lakes holes 4-7. As they move closer to the completion of the project, the courses will make a slow but smooth transition to maintenance & conditioning.

If you're already on island, stop by the Happy Talk Lounge for a relaxing sunset. If you're planning a trip, how 'bout one in October to see Mitzi Gaynor?

Hope to see you here soon.

Have a great day.

Mahalo
