Jackie, since I know you are the designated 'scribe' to Joel's 'skipper', I am enchanted with your eloquence, '...brief sprinkles that freshen the air and scatter liquid diamonds far and wide'!! Kauai certainly is a tropical treasure island, with so much lush and rich vegetation, it is almost unreal!
