  1. Kahului PHOG → Hana PHHN

    Since I was already in Hawaii and had flown over Mauna Kea in the Cessna 172 (see previous post), it made sense to also fly over Haleakalā on the neighbouring island of Maui. With the well-powered Super Cub, it didn't take long to reach 13,000 ft for enjoying the fantastic view.

  2. #LahainaFire > #Maui residents who lost their homes in the #wildfires are learning how to get part of almost a billion dollars in federal aid to rebuild. It’s part of $1.6 billion in post-disaster federal relief approved by Congress and former President Biden.

    Authorities on Wednesday revealed the cause and origin of the #Lahaina #wildfire disaster that claimed the lives of 102 people, pointing to the reenergization of broken power lines that created sparks, igniting unmaintained vegetation in the area

  4. After these huge disasters, #landgrabs are common. We see it after #iniki we see it after #maui fires in #lahaina and on #bigisland when the lava flows. #landback
    The way these communities survive and thrive *together* thru these natural disasters, only to be ripped apart when the land is taken from them. They thrived bc they were "allowed" to take care of themselves. When you take away people's ability to take care of themselves... you are condemning them to a poverty deeper than the Pacific Ocean. It's a crime against humanity.

  5. “Leave it better than you found it,” is a good motto to take with you on your next journey, near or far. If there's a tourist destination that could use such visitors, perhaps it's Hawaii. A year after the devastating Maui fires, the need to reshape how visitors experience the islands has become more apparent. Fodors.com writer Tykesha Burton took a trip there and came back with these tips for practicing “regenerative travel.”

  6. Was taking pictures with the family when I saw this guy on a bike rocking a beach vibe.. so I approached him as he was leaving and introduced myself saying:

    “Hi, my name is Hasani, and I'm not trying to make this weird, but you have a great look with this bike, do you mind if I take your photo?”

    He looked very surprised and said “No one has ever asked to take my picture before”

    I took 3 quick shots and thanked him for his time
