What You Should Actually Keep in the House for Hurricane Season in Lahaina
After Hurricane Lala left you without power, cell service or information, you realized that what you had in the house and what you actually needed were two different things. Here’s what you’re changing before the next storm rolls in.
We Interrupt Your Regular Programming
You are here again. Standing in the dark. No power. No phone service. Just a stoic SOS marking the space where cell phone bars used to be. Hurricane Lala didn't just interrupt the plan for this season. It rooted you back in what it means to make Maui home.
What Maui Looks Like Right Before You Leave It
Before the emails start and the days accelerate and the restaurant pulls me back into its orbit, I step outside on to the lanai. The pool mirrors the blue above it. The trade winds play on my skin like a whisper. I sit at my table and try to take it all in, the way of chewing slowly when you know the meal is almost over. These are the last mornings. And they alone make it hard to leave.
Aloha: An Introduction (Part 3)
Aloha. This one hits different. Unlike ciao and yo, aloha is more than a salutation. “Hello” and “goodbye” are only the tip of the spear. Aloha is a philosophy. Aloha is a way of life. Aloha is a perspective, an inclusive and love-colored worldview. Aloha is a spirit. It is an intuitive and connected way of being. Aloha is peace. It is humility. Aloha is rooted in honor and tradition and a universal love.
