Normally we stay in Lahaina, so when we heard about the devastating Aug. 8 wildfire that blew through the town — killing 100 and destroying over 2000 buildings — we really grieved for the citizens of our home away from home.
Always resilient, the residents and business owners are fast moving through the steps necessary to begin rebuilding. For A closer look at Lahaina 4 months after deadly wildfire, listen to the Morning Edition report on Hawai’i Public Radio.
We’re staying in Kihei and hope our tourist dollars help the state fund Lahaina’s rebuild.
Have you been to Hawaii? If so, which islands?
