Book Description

Kapa'a, like most rural towns on Kaua'i and many in Hawai'i, got its start in the 19th century as a sugar town. But, within five years, Kapa'a's sugar mill was gone; the little village almost disappeared. By the early 20th century, Kapa'a was once again a thriving community. Self-reliant merchants and shopkeepers, first mostly Chinese and then Japanese, competed with the neighboring plantation store. Homesteaders populated the hills behind Kapa'a, and two pineapple canneries offered employment. Several movie theaters provided alternatives to the bars and taxi-dance halls. By the 1970s, pineapple, too, was gone, and Kapa'a faced new challenges. Today, new entrepreneurs working alongside the old provide entertainment for a new clientele of pleasure-seekers, tourists.

Book Description

When Columbus first set foot in the New World, he spied the North Coast of what we call the Dominican Republic and called it "the most beautiful land on earth." Today you might just say the same thing. Spectacular beaches stretch for miles around the country's shores - head for a white sand playa one day, then change to a craggy cove good for beach combing the next. If you're into windsurfing or kitesurfing, the newest craze, Playa Caberete is one of the top destinations in the world.
