On the island of Kauai we boated on a river to a place called Fern Grotto and were met by these folks singing and dancing. We arrived in Kauai about Saturday noon after a short flight from the island of Oahu. This island is much smaller and less touristy, but these folks found a way to get some tourist money. We stay at the Courtyard Marriott here for three nights. There are no doors on the entryways to the building because the weather is so nice. As we neared this motel our bus driver told us the story of how Frank Sinatra almost died here in the surf where he got in serious trouble. Consequently, he donated some money to make improvements for swimmers because he was so grateful to motel employees for saving him.
