In January 2015, Marilyn and I celebrated out fortieth anniversary by taking a trip to Hawaii. Most of our time in that state was spent on the island of Maui and our time there was centered in the village of Lahaina. Because of those wonderful memories, the news of the wildfires that have ravaged Lahaina and have taken the lives of over fifty people are especially heartbreaking to me.
We had wonderful meals there, we attended the renowned Lahaina Luau, and many of the excursions that we took originated in Lahaina. There is no other word for what has happened than "heartbreaking."
Some memories of better times below.
You may have heard on the news of the 150 year old banyon tree
that was a landmark in the center of the town. This is that tree (and me).
At the famous "Lahaina Luau".....
