Outdoor kitchens have been an interesting idea to me ever since I stayed in an apartment across the road from a home with one in Puerto Vallarta. It seems like a very natural thing for a tropical climate. But after leaving our doors here open for a little while, the number of flies that congregate in the kitchen is incredible! I don't think an outdoor kitchen would work for us. If you screen it in, would it still be "outdoors"?
"toucano", while there may not be any current Dengue Fever outbreaks in Hawaii, there was one in 2001-2002 on Maui. It's alway always a possibility, with travelers coming in from areas that do have it. (I'll leave it to HADave to post an appropriate URL, or you can google "dengue fever hawaii".)
