Things are slow. I work at Beezers on the Coconut Coast. My husband is a musician who also works as a guide. We've both seen our income go down. We talked to our kids about why we don't have the same amount of money, and they offered to help by making shell jewelry and braclets to sell at art fairs. We didn't want to hurt their feelings so we went along with it. But it turned out good for our whole family. Our family crafts bring in a couple extra hundred dollars a month and we all spend time as a family at craft fairs. It would be nice to have more visitors return to Kauai, but the time together as a family has taught our kids Keke and Ben that they will be okay and we will be okay as a family no matter what happens if we stay together.

I would have thought people hurt by the current economic drop off wouldn't be those who take vacations in tropical locations.Steve Kaczynskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17721757429284877584noreply@blogger.com
