Aloha found deep in heart of Kaua’i

My husband and I encountered a very nice young woman transplanted here from

Sacramento, Calif. We did not learn her name, and thought this letter might be

a way to thank her and demonstrate our sincere appreciation for her kind

act.

We left the hotel one afternoon for a walk around 5:30 or 5:45 p.m.,

thinking we could complete our walk easily by dark. We were following a hotel

running path but somehow did not take the correct turn that would have returned

us to the hotel. Instead, missing a turn, we wound up on the road that takes

one to the lighthouse. It was getting dark and very apparent we were off the

correct path.

A car appeared at the end of the road near the lighthouse,

lights on, coming toward us. My husband waved the car down in hope of getting

directions. A very nice young lady with a very large dog in the back seat

immediately saw we were in trouble. Instead of directions, she offered us a

ride, insisting she take us all the way to our hotel. Once more, proof God

takes care of little children and fools.

I hope she or someone who knows

her reads this and will convey how very grateful we are. Our rescuer is a

tremendous athlete, runs and rows, owns a cleaning business and dogsits for her

friends.

Thanks to our good Samaritan. She has truly adopted the Hawaiian

frame of mind — kindness and hospitality just come naturally.
