~~<p>Before the planet started heating up, temperatures here started falling in October to the point where we could dig out favorite sweaters and jackets from our closets. But in recent years the heat has continued well into December. Bad for fashion, but on the upside, we can enjoy outdoor barbecue well into fall, and Halekulani is treating travelers to this backyard experience through the end of the month.</p>
<p>"Barbecues from Around the Globe" takes advantage of the open-air, oceanfront House Without a Key setting by offering the outdoor meal from 5 to 9 p.m. Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays until Oct. 30. Diners are wise to saunter in early at the no-reservations restaurant for a bite just as the sun sets. There is many an abandoned table as the sunset gives reason for guests to rush out of their chairs to capture the moment via phone, iPad or camera. We tend to take this daily occurrence for granted, but most visitors never get that chance to capture the glowing orange orb over the ocean horizon.</p>
