CHAPTER SEVEN

___________

Hawaiian Princesses

The night had passed peacefully. No one tried to break in. There was no sign of fire, vandalism or mischief. Dan and Pete stayed up late, taking a walk around the resort every now and then just to check on things. They woke Dan’s folks around two thirty, then, and went to bed as Steve and Rachel took over. Mrs. Manoa had insisted they wake her early so they could go back to bed for a while, and she had kept a wary eye out while she went about preparing for breakfast and the other work of the day.

They were back at work by nine o’clock that morning. The painting was nearly done. The guys were ready to finish the exterior painting. “There’s only the Seashell Shack and the Pineapple Palace left,” Steve pointed out. “Let’s really knock it out, guys and get it done today! What colors are we painting today, Mrs. Manoa?”

“This beautiful shade of aqua for the Seashell Shack and lime green for the Pineapple Palace.”

“Wow! It’s going to be a rainbow of tropical colors up here!” Skeeter said. “What are you girls planning to do?”

“We’re done with our work inside the cottages! The furniture looks great, and everything is nice and clean and fresh, with new bedding, draperies and towels. The girls did a beautiful job painting! I’m so pleased!” Mrs. Manoa said, smiling happily. “I think today we’ll get started painting the dining room. With all six of us girls working on it, we should be able to finish it today. Kimo is already here, too, and he should be finishing the last of the repairs today, too.”

“You know, I’ve been thinking,” Pete spoke up unexpectedly. He was normally a pretty quiet guy, so when he brought up something new, it sometimes came as a surprise. “Have you done much advertising yet, Mrs. Manoa? It doesn’t do much good to get the place all fixed up for guests if you don’t have a bunch of guests all lined up to come stay with you!”

“Well no, Pete, actually I haven’t. This all came about so fast and we’ve been so busy with this other work that I just haven’t had a chance to do anything about it. It’s certainly been weighing on my mind, though.”

“Well, the best way you can advertise these days is over the Internet. It’s pretty inexpensive and you’ll reach a worldwide audience that way. I’m pretty handy with designing and setting up websites. If you’d like, I can get a Castaway Cove website set up for you and you can start putting the word out that you have a unique and beautiful getaway here! You have a computer and an internet connection here, don’t you?”

“Of course. Oh, Pete! Could you really do that for me? That would be so wonderful!”

“Sure, I’d be happy to! Dan will help me—won’t you, Dan? He’s pretty creative and artistic. We always make a good team when we work together.” Dan agreed to it and they made their plans to get to work on it when they were done painting later that afternoon.
