We noticed that the one place we like to stay in Maui cost about a lot more per day than the last time we stayed here and realized this is because of the hurricanes in Texas, Florida, Puerto Rico and throughout the Caribbean where all plant life is dead from the winds and flooding many places. However, it is still beautiful in all the Hawaiian islands (even though a little hotter from global warming than normal this time of year). So, before you book ask carefully how much they are asking for a room or rental car per nights stay. On top of everything else even though the view is incredible where we like to stay on Maui they do not have air conditioners which I'm finding more difficult than when I was younger. The sunset tonight was "Out of this world" and our waiter at the restaurant we ate at said it was because the gale ended and the Vog (Volcanic ash and fog ended) from the Big Island where it erupts all the time into the ocean ongoing because the gale force winds were no longer bringing it to Maui so there is no wind at all for some reason so you feel hotter without the trade winds blowing right now softly like I'm used to here on Maui.
So, we are really grateful we are not staying here in December through March because that is going to cost an arm and a leg because they are getting people who normally would go to the Caribbean but there is no nature above the ocean to visit there anymore most places. And below the surface it likely is pretty torn up to from hurricanes down to about 20 or 30 feet deep. It will take time for nature above and below water to repair itself. Some places will take 40 years to return to normal once again in the Caribbean after all the hurricanes. And the season isn't over yet still.
It's still nice in Hawaii mostly because a really bad hurricane hasn't hit here since Hurricane Iniki which I think was:
1992: About 3 years before I went on my honeymoon to Kauai and to Oahu it hit Kauai. They were still repairing some still 3 years later in 1995 when I was first in Kauai with my present wife.
