We just got back from a trip to Maui! Here are great ways to support local Maui workers and businesses during your vacation! We were excited to get this video out so see if you can spot the errors with the captions. Mahalo for visiting Maui with aloha!
-
Been waiting for a video with from you guys. I tried canceling my trip out of respect to the ppl in Maui. But the resort refused to reschedule or refund. So we had no choice but to keep our trip. We don’t want to upset anyone. This is our first time, hopefully we are welcomed.🙏
-
Mahalo Jordan and Erica, Glad to see your beautiful family again on here. I can’t believe how big Henry and Edith are getting. It will be a few years until my husband and myself can afford to go back since we were just there in May. I continue to love watching your Maui vlogs and reading your informative newsletter!! Hope all is well and sending a huge hug to all the Maui people!! Lahaina/ Maui Strong!! 💪🌺

We enjoyed a fabulous, first time, trip to Maui last year and found your tips and guides incredibly helpful. Thx for making this great video focusing on local business.

I was thinking about you all the other day, and I'm so happy to see you guys are doing well. Henry looks ecstatic to be back in Hawai'i (and he has grown!)🌺 Hopefully you'll be able to upload more videos ❤️

So happy to see a post from you! My wife and I will be there Oct 28-Nov 10. Have kept all our dinner reservations and plan to do our part while there. Looking forward to the "What to Expect" video mentioned in another comment.

Good job guys, love to see your spirit to help Maui

I love Maui! Go there every year but I’m still sad about what happened to Lahaina. So many great memories 🥲. Do want to go again by the end of this year but I’m afraid that we might be going back too soon. My favorite part of Maui was west Maui. Kapalua, Napili and of course Lahaina. Do want to support any way we can and go but want to be respectful at the same time
-
Thank you so much for this great video. The Island really does need visitor support and your video has marvellous suggestions!
-
We were there in February. We are looking to return late this year to early next year. Thanks for the suggestions!
-
Whoa! Both kids are growing up quick! That's wild! Paul Ru.... I mean Jordan and Erica looking great too! Thanks for talking about Maui. Glad the Banyan tree is sprouting leaves on the west side! Support grown, not flown! Support local! Can't wait to see ohana in a couple weeks! Sending love and good vibes!
