August 2024 update from Maui - 1 year after the firesI thought it would be timely to do an update on the situation on Maui.  I'll send you to my other blog so I don't have to repeat myself.  A lot has changed but a lot still needs to be done, and it's way more that I can say here quickly.Our tourist industry really took a hit over the past year, with visitor numbers down about 27% they say.  Thankfully those visitors are spending heavily and that helps... thank you!There's a lot of drama about what's happening and what's not happening, as you can imagine.  People are being housed and things are progressing, but it's a tough situation to just move on from.  I am blessed to live far from all of it, but still feel the energy and also the fear, since parts of Maui continue to have wild fire...
