Thank you, Steve. When you recognize so much from the smallest remnants, it is hard to witness. I am glad you are documenting. Never in a million years did I think our beloved Lahaina would disappear from the earth.
Aloha and Thank You Very Much! So appreciate you and your thoughts. Hope you come to Maui soon and Best Wishes to you and your family in 2024. I may do another video just to show what it looks like, as the clean-up has begun. Hugs & Toasts to you and your family.
@@MauiTravelVideos I live on Maui, Steve, on east side, for forty years, and family here since 1912. Four days before the fire I closed on a house in Kaanapali, because I wanted to live near Lahaina and west side beaches for once in my life. Things don’t always work out as we plan, do they?
Aloha and YES, it is amazing to see growth after 6 months of rain and great sunshine. Amazing. Here is my latest: czcams.com/video/2fU97D0Y-nY/video.html
So nice to see the smile on Patricia's face again! Thanks for the update on Lahaina Steve, as heartbreaking as some of your photos are, there is hope for a better day, love Java Jazz, let me guess, you got the eggs Benedict, hopefully when we return, Star Noodle will be open, looking forward to dining with you guys there when we return, God Bless all of you and Merry Christmas, stay safe guys
Aloha Phil and Thank You. So enjoy seeing you here and I, too, hope Star Noodle will be open when you get back and we'll have much to celebrate for sure. I so hope that happens. God Bless You & Your Family and Best Aloha Wishes for 2024. Let's get this year over with, and get to the next one. LOL. So much to be Thankful For. Best Wishes, Phil.
Aloha and Thank You for your kind message. Aloha Mixed Plate is open, and also go to Mala Ocean Tavern. Star Noodle is not open yet, but will open soon. Safe Travels to Maui. Best Wishes.
It's great to know that some food establishments are reopening. It's sad for those that have greater damage to their property. Also, that whole Olowalu toxic dumping idea seems like a horribly bad thing for that beautiful area. What are they thinking????
Aloha and Thanks. It is the closes, fastest to implement, fastest to clean up Lahaina Town option out there. After over 10 locations being look at, it is by far the best. Here is my latest: czcams.com/video/2fU97D0Y-nY/video.html
Aloha and Thank You. We love Maui Tacos too, but there are not many locations left. The one in Napili Plaza just closed recently, and an Amigo's is going into that spot. Darn. I love Maui Tacos. Best Aloha Wishes.
I support the Maui Humane Society but skipping the island for my bi-annual Hawaii trip this year. Too much confusion on going/not going is the right thing to do. That restaurant you feature at 3:09 is one of my favorite places to eat and have coffee.
We're pretty much back to somewhat "life" but without all of Front Street. No confusion that I know of. Got into Monkeypod Kitchen for Happy Hour quick. See here on latest video: czcams.com/video/2fU97D0Y-nY/video.html
Great to see you and Patricia carrying on and highlighting what is positive on Maui. Time will reveal the new Lahaina, but Maui is still No Ka Oi. Keep sharing the positives and may God Bless you both in the year to come.
Aloha Peter. Many thanks and appreciate you and your nice thoughts. I'm going to try to stay positive, as there is much to be happy about and grateful for on Maui. Come to Maui when you can, and Best Holiday Wishes and Have a Wonderful 2024.
Aloha from Texas Steve! Happy new year and great to see Patricia and yourself in positive spirits. Great job showing how it really is on island right now. Thank you for taking the time to show all the photos, they are heart breaking images to see but are needed to paint the accurate picture. Be well and stay in touch. 🤙(name change from Hernandez)
Aloha and Thank You and so good to see you again. I've been super busy at work, as we're just so short-handed. But I truly hope to get back to doing videos. Hope your BBQ biz is continuing to grow and prosper. I know you work hard at it, and that's a key to being successful. Hope you're also having fun with it. Best Aloha Wishes for 2024 and let's stay-in-touch and I hope to see you on Maui in 2024. Take Care.
Aloha Catherine. Thank YOU and it's always so good to see you here. Appreciate you and your kind thoughts, and so wish for you to have a wonderful holiday season and a GREAT 2024! Best Aloha Blessings.
Aloha John. Thanks and good to see you. LOL+ So Funny, I just told Patricia "only John would notice that" as you pick up all the fine details. Quick Eyes!! So funny and hope you have a wonderful holiday season and let's get this "act" to 2024 and get going! It's time to "Rebound" on Maui. Best Aloha Wishes, John.
🌺Sheraton Maui Cliff Dive Pool Bar is open from 11-9pm. Our Cliff Dive Torch Lighting Ceremony takes place every evening at Sunset with live Music and Hula Dancing 🌺
Aloha Darci and Thank You. Yes, the Sheraton has a lot to offer. We're next door at the (now) Outrigger Kaanapali Beach Resort (old KBH) and often walk over there. Love the breakfast buffet! On my work shift in security I listen to the music there often. Enjoy Maui! Best Aloha Wishes for 2024.
Yes, "user" there are a lot of people at the Sheraton. It's a very popular place and a lot of fun. Black Rock is a great snorkel spot also. Lots of people having fun on Maui.
@@MauiTravelVideos yes they are, there swimming in extremely toxic water, breathing toxic air...which passes the blood brain barrier and you cant get it out...with the waste site being put near the water , on top of a cave system with streams in it, on top of a hefty bag...it will only be months before Uluwalu then the entire island chain is destroyed.. we do water testing, blood, skin food , everything. just the arsenic levels at Black Rock are enough to cause cancer after 30 minutes of exposure. that's 400, 000 tons of toxic waste, so bad...even mainland super sites turned it down. not informing our guest is criminal and against any moral fabric a man should have. the leaching of the toxins into the ocean already has shown up in Hana. didn't you watch the council meeting ?
It's such a shame what they have done to Lahaina and the people, now they are going to ruin Olowalu, Lahaina was the only reason I really ever went to Maui, I always stayed at the Pioneer Inn.
Aloha. What did they do? Please tell me. We lost everything, living behind Fleetwood's in the apartment building. I do miss the Pioneer Inn. I talk about it on my latest video: czcams.com/video/2fU97D0Y-nY/video.html
@@MauiTravelVideos I know, I've been here , most of my life, and was the head chef at many of the establishments, from David Pauls to the Hyatt..yadayadayada....lol the good Phillipino and Mexican cooks are gone, they left , or didn't survive the massacre. There's people back there now that just don't care and never handled food before . its ok. if your on island now, you wont be very soon,. if you've been paying attention. have you ?" turn over ". that's a good one, . Mauis not for us anymore, sadly..and their doing there best to get us off the island, well not their best, that still to come.
I cancelled my vacation in Maui. There is a segment of the population that don't want tourists there. I would rather spend my vacation budget where there isn't that hostility.
Disappointed at your distant observation, but respect your decision. As the Security Officer from 7pm to 7am every day at a major resort on Ka'anapali Beach, I hear virtually nothing negative now from locals about tourism. Maybe a couple of months ago some things were said for the media, but it's way different now after 6 months.
I would not recommend Java Jazz. We found it to be dirty, and the owner is a proud racist. Just ask him about immigrants, or Obama, and he will go off on a racist rant.

Is the cannery mall open, Safeway?
No, not the Mall. Safeway is open and has been. Best Wishes.
all the cooks are gone. i could only imagine whom is back there.

Are they going to change Maui to "OWI" ( Oprah Winfrey's island) ???😂
Enjoyed Your YT Channel.
Maui No Rebound from dump site -after that Lahaina fire.
Pick a better place from 5,500+ miles away. Stay Away. It is dangerous here. Please come in 2057. All good then. Thank you.
I cancelled my vacation in Maui. There is a segment of the population that don't want tourists there. I would rather spend my vacation budget where there isn't that hostility.
Not really bro. Guarantee you wouldn’t meet someone here that was against you being here. It’s typical social media fantasy.
