Description


Dreams are fickle things, evolving as time passes and circumstances change, spending their lives rolling around the perimeter of our minds, giving us a brass ring to reach for. The pursuit alone can fill a lifetime. When dreams are finally realized, they have the power to reshape our thinking and sharpen our vision to the point that nothing seems impossible. Ride along as Dave crashes through a life that was far from what he wanted. Discover how a chance meeting changed the future of two people and sent them both chasing the same dream. Wander amidst the construction and witness their vision emerge from the pages of a battered notebook. Watch as their dream rises from the dust and takes flight in a small town on a small island. Listen in as Dave tells the story of why he and his wife left everything behind, followed their hearts to the middle of the Pacific, and opened a tropical restaurant. His stories come alive as he takes you from the struggles of an ordinary life in Michigan to the triumphs of an extraordinary life on Kauai. Mixed in, you'll see how they, with absolutely no restaurant experience, take the desires of their heart and make them a reality that continued to grow in success and popularity. You'll experience the excitement and emotion of their journey before news of the Covid-19 pandemic led to the closing of the Hawaiian Islands and turned the page on the greatest chapter of their lives. Become a part of the amazing, difficult journey to success and watch as a once flourishing dream is set on a path to an uncertain future.
