[edit] Single Condo Listings=

Given the presumably large number of places to stay on Kauai, do we want to have listings for individual condos? The most recent add was from an owner of a single condo. -- Colin 23:43, 6 Apr 2005 (EDT)

That's a tough call-- it really is one of the more popular ways to stay on the islands, probably second only to staying in a big resort. I don't know if only listing condo companies is somehow "better" but we don't want to be a phonebook either. I say leave it and lets see where it goes. If it gets out of control we might want to revisit the issue, but otherwise I see no reason to descriminate againsts individual listings... Majnoona 12:29, 7 Apr 2005 (EDT)

[edit] Exaggeration

Under Sleep it says:

The "windward" side, especially the north coast can get up to twice rain than the sunny south coast.

This is a gross exaggeration. Here are rain data from "World Climate", from actual weather station measurements, for Princeville, on the North Shore:

and Kaluahonu, on the south shore:

The yearly rainfall for the North Shore Location is 86.1, and for the south shore location 75.5. Hardly "Twice".

I think this comment should be deleted.

[edit] Talk

The talk section was redundant and incorrect to boot.

I removed it. There is already a hawaiian words section in the main article in which the words are correctly spelled.
