      Hi Eric, I will come to Maui for one week in July. Coming from Germany. Was there 5 times since 2018 with my baby son. He learned to surf last summer just 2 weeks before the fire. He watched the whales there and Lahaina was our place to go. I can’t stop crying watching your videos. I will be crying a lot when coming and want to walk through Lahaina if that is possible, I want to never forget nor my son should ever forget Lahaina the old days nor the present.
      I heard that Olowalu is polluted now? Is it safe to swim around Olowalu and is Lahaina Baby beach accessible? Anyway Kanaapali is our place to go as well. Wish you and all Hawaians Gods comfort🙏💝 All suffering will have an end one day, when Jesus is coming.

    Just finished a wonderful 1 month vacation in West Maui. We love West Maui. The main difference we noted was fewer guests on the beach and no evening strolls in Lahaina town. This time we walked the whalers board walk, went for sunset sail and saw the last whale mom and baby this season. Maui is still the best. West Maui❤

    Wow Eric, Mahalo for the blast from the past.! My old stomping ground’s! My husband and I opened the Hyatt Maui in 1979. Baker and Sous Chef. Those were the good ol daze. Paddled canoe with Napili Canoe club. Now he has dementia and not supposed to fly. I really want to visit! I agree about the elites! They’re trying to take over here on Kauai too. Normal is not coming back, Jesus is! 👆🏽🎺💫Till then, we have work to do! Good job Eric. My heart is broken for Maui. 💔Always in my heart and prayers. Aloha🌺

    Since the late 70s my family and I would vacation in Maui every winter. I had to stop going because my high school wouldn't allow me to take time off for 10 day vacation. Finally was able to go back in 2012 to get married on a beach. And every other year we would join my parents who are snowbirds from Minnesota in Kihei for 2 weeks. Haven't been able to go for the past 5 years because of family obligations keeping us in Minnesota. Hopefully we'll be able to come back tp our ohana in maui in the comming years. Needless to say the VERY intentional fire in Lahaina tore my heart out. It felt personal. It's a shame that my dad's wife to this day thinks it was a natural event. 😞 I love the work you did with the homeless encampment and after the fire to try and help Lahaina. Sadly like they say, no good deed goes unpunished. When my wife and I are able to return to Maui we would love to meet you Eric. My wife and I are fans of your work and look forward to your Maui fixes. Our dream is to be able to retire in Maui and at one time that seemed possible but not anymore with this hyperinflation that a certain president got us into. 😢 It's even becoming a struggle to afford life in Minnesota. Much aloha from the land of the mosquito. 😊

    That was great. Thank you!! Last time I took that stroll was maybe 1987..? Spent a lot of time down there in the 80's as a little houle boy growing up in Kihei. Looks a little different, but much the same and so beautifully familiar! And busy!! I fondly remember a restaurant called the Crab Catcher that had a pool, right where I think you said Beach Girl was. Many great books found in the Whaler's Village bookstore probably shaped my being. Great flashbacks for me. Must come (re)visit soon! MAHALO!

    I have stayed at the Alii since 1986 as a young bride, and visited every 2-4 years until the fire, when I had to cancel the reservation because I was supposed to arrive 10 after the massive devastation when everyone was in shock. I want to cry hearing that the government has refused not only to let them rebuild the side walk but commanding removal of the ocean front buildings - (all private residences) !!
    The beautiful Kaanapali Alii will be destroyed financially at that point.
    And for what !?!?!

    Eric, I have followed you from the first day that you got news out about Lahaina. In the beginning you had different people come and speak I think that you’re home and they were just short clips about what they knew or saw. You had one lady on there who was extremely upset and she was saying it was the minions that work for the Tilian’s. Do you remember that clip? I’m learning more and more about intergalactic beings and the rep Tilian‘s have been on earth since time untold. If you could find that lady and interview her again. She may have some real big answers about who is behind the destruction of Lahaina love and respect Judy bear from Washington State.
