Book Reviews of Geckos & Other Guests: Tales of a Kaua'i Bed & Breakfast
Book Review: Don't move to Hawaii before you read this book
Summary: 5 Stars
Had Peter Mayle gone to Hawaii rather than to Provence, he might have written this book instead. Like "My Year in Provence," this book is filled with the frustrations and humor of building a new life in a romantic place.
For those of us who have visited Hawaii and dreamed of starting over in paradise, Gabriela Taylor helps us see what it would be like before we give up our day jobs.
These amusing stories of eccentric guests and staff will delight you and her spirit of adventure may even inspire you to go after your own dreams.
Summary of Geckos & Other Guests: Tales of a Kaua'i Bed & Breakfast
Life at a B&B is often so alluring that many guest fantasize about retiring in paradise and running one of their own. With clarity and humor,Taylor tells the truth about what it takes. Over a twelve year period, she played host to a wide array of intriguing characters, including psychics, nudist, musicians, a BBC film crew, nature lovers and even a woman who thought she was Elvis's mother. As she relates her colorful tales from trapping wild chickens to the allure of the lush vegetation and waterfalls that grace the beautiful island, Taylor reveals her deep love for Kauai.Memoirs Books
