Negc: Thanks for the explanation of "WOKE". Still a ridiculous word if you ask me.

Negc..... I know you've see the news reels showing that there is NOTHING left of Lahaina for miles along the waterfront and into most of the rising neighborhoods.
I think it will take at least a YEAR or MORE to REBUILD the tourist area. At the minimum. And we all have to remember that any building supplies in the quantity they will need has to come in by freighters. Not to mention workers too. That all takes time and coordination. There are thousands of native Hawaiians that are totally homeless and without ANYTHING. Clothes, food, important papers, cars, EVERYTHING.
I'm not familiar with where the cruise ships dock. If it's close to the Southern area of MAUI then the ship might dock, but there are NO STRIPS of SHOPPING SHOPPES on that end of Maui. Lots of condo's on the waterfront and the big Marriot property. Tours to see Hana and to the volcano and some coffee shops, but that's about it unless they really built it up after we were there. Hard to drop off 3,000 plus people from a cruise ship if they have NOWHERE to walk around. No restaurants, No shop's, etc, etc.
I just hope the governor can inform the cruise ships just what's going on. Looks like they've already figured that out!

We have friends that are getting married and their honeymoon was to be on MAUI. They cancelled and are looking for another venue.

It's hot and humid here after our mid-morning rain today. But I'll take it anyday compared to cold and dreary.

Karen: Good for you helping with the landscape cleaning up at the church. I bet the "guys" were surprised to see a woman there! Ha Ha. Hope you plan to relax tonight with a favorite cool drink!

Gathered most of what I'll need to make it through the next week at Jill's. Funny how much you want to take with you and you're only going 45 mins away! Ha Ha.

Lee: Amazing how much that house sold for down the street from your old house. We could never afford to live in Canada.
You and Lu-Ann made your move just at the right time. And you brought half your friends with you, so it's not like you're missing them! Just being so close to the water is a big plus.

BB: So how was the Bridal Shower?? Do tell us all about it.

Later........
