It was about a twenty-minute drive from the airport. Since my primary objective of this initial visit was to line up as many local vendors as possible, Hatch and I had agreed it would be best for us to get a place in town for our short stay. The drive from the airport into town was downhill and uneventful. There were few cars on the road, and the passing scenery was mostly open fields or stands of trees: kiawe, and Cook and Norfolk Pine, along with a smattering of towering ironwoods. Once we got down to the coastal road, we passed a few modest houses with spacious yards, but even near the beach, there was nary a shopping mall or high rise in sight. We drove by a thick grove of coconut palms. They were some of the tallest I’d ever seen, but a few looked pretty scraggly. Toward the west end of the grove, some of trees were missing their crowns, making them look like sway-back telephone poles. They’d apparently taken a hit, either by time or high winds.
