I can't even begin to say how wonder full is it to see all of these great pic's!
Thank you sooo much, Primo Kimo!
When I was 9 years old,back in 1963, my family and I stayed at the coco palms.
this was in it's real heyday, just after Elvis did "blue Hawaii" there.
even to this day, It's my most fond memory of Hawaii.or anything else.
I fished in the lagoon..(there were fishing poles in each room)..wandered the grounds in a happy daze, looking at the animals the kept in a impromptu zoo, paddled around in the water, listened to and made friends with the local band that played in the restaurant, watched them spit rotisserie roast huge pigs over a flaming pit.
ate great food, and was literally in a constant state of joy...

I'm allways looking for memorabilia from there. If anyone knows good places to look, other than Ebay, please let me know!

I've been to Kauai many times since then, and allways make a pilgrimage to the Coco palms..I've tried to get in, but there were fences and guards in the way. how did you get in to get these great photos?
also, I wonder if I could contact the owner, and see if they would be willing to sell any of the old bits and fixtures...It would be worth going there to just get the opportunity!
