There is a huge fire on Maui today. It started at least yesterday and maybe even the day before. You can see plane after plane landing and I just know it is loaded with tourists, half of whom, stay on Lahaina side in Kaanapali beach or Kapalua. I wonder what they are thinking as they are flying in to land and see the huge fire on the left side of the plane. I wonder if the pilot tells them to hurry up and find a hotel in Kihei and/or Wailea before they are sold out.
It is likely that I won't be able to go to work tomorrow unless the fire lays down overnight. I will check the road closure phone line in the morning. I am supposed to go to the Feast at Lele Luau tomorrow night, something I am really looking forward to. Already several Luau's and Ulalena have closed for tonight as the dancers cannot get to work from the West Side. I am surely going to pack and overnight bag for tomorrow night because the Kiave wood burns and burns. It is used here as charcoal. I am walking over for sunset and can see the fire from the beach across the street, hopefully it is laying down a bit so I can go to work tomorrow.
