*  Here’s some fun news from Kauai – Kauai Mini Golf opened on the North Shore. “This is not your typical miniature golf course. There are no clown’s mouths or windmills to shoot through. This 18-hole putting green style course is set amongst beautiful botanical gardens representing the different eras of Hawaii’s culture. Meanwhile, water hazards, pipe shots, and many other obstacles make for a fun and challenging experience. Along the way you will travel through Hawaii’s history, learning about the islands’ storied past and beautiful tropical flora.” For more information visit www.kauaiminigolf.com.
