Good! There’s no excuse for continuing an attraction that brings hordes of people with their trash, noise, cars, and poop to a quiet residential neighborhood. One’s “incredible experience” should not be had at the expense of other people’s quality of life.

How long have you lived in Hawaii? That’s a given. You always check because 1) they might not ship to Hawaii at all, or 2) they will ship, but there is a surcharge. Check out Amazon Prime.

You are and it is. Just finished SV and immediately started hoping there’d be a third in the same creative/imaginative vein as the last two. I’m SO looking forward to it!

I couldn’t find the Spouse Doesn’t Have Cell Phone button. I guess I’ll just say no. But I do know his SS and CC numbers. Maybe I’ll wait for that polo.

Many thanks for posting this excellent article. It’s the most comprehensive reporting I’ve seen on the subject. It was of particular interest to me, as I just spent the morning making my first visit allowed by the authorities to my destroyed 1970s home in Lahaina, following the initial clean up phase. Fortunately the county has provided free PPE and a good video on safety procedures to residents entering the burn zone to inspect their property.

Some random things that people outside of Hawaii, and personally unfamiliar with traditional Hawaiian culture, are often not aware of:
*ALL land and water was sacred to Hawaiians, as they were the source of all life.
*Mauna Kea itself has never been a special sacred site, unlike many other locations, and other natural features, which were associated with various rituals, traditions, and taboos.
*The ali’i, Hawaiian nobility, whose persons were also sacred, and who had absolute authority over commoners, had fully embraced Western ways
- clothing, technology, lifestyle, religion - and had abolished the kapu system, and thus the traditional religion, in the early 18th century.
*Almost two hundred years later (and a few years before the overthrow of the monarchy), one of the last ali’i officially restored many non-religious Hawaiian cultural traditions (which had been banned by Christians), although some had continued to be practiced in secret.

Very nice. Had me smiling, and I hope it worked for you, too.

Maui. If I wasn’t I wouldn’t be talking bout it.

I’m a Lahaina fire survivor. Neither of these stories sounds true to me. It sounds like more shit stirring.
Because I can’t imagine anyone, especially a tourist, surviving any attempt to steal from a Hawaiian survivor.
And because no one would need directions to the ashes. Because one minute after coming off the bypass (the only way to enter Lahaina) you’re driving right by my totally destroyed neighborhood.
