several years ago we stayed at a rental house in Hawaii. This greeted us on the kitchen table. Aloha!

(Also, am I the only one who thinks about the old Steven Wright joke about the light switch after seeing this?)

won't lie, this took me a few reads before I understood that I could *cancel* my reservation up to 24h ahead of time, but I won't get any money back (right?)
