It's so nice to see your filming, because you have a way of bringing out the beauty of Lahaina that is still there, despite the tragedy. It's great to know that there are places there, outside the burn zone, that still thrive and look beautiful. 🙂

    that shot of the West Maui mountains at 5:57 as you are filming Longs Drugs at the Cannery Mall--my favorite part of those mountains. I can remember when the Cannery Mall was a bit out of town, would usually stay in a condo in Honokowai, and come back after checking in to get some groceries at Safeway. Was in the hospital last week and one of the nurses had just gotten back from a week in Maui, she said she stayed in a condo just north of Lahaina, near town. Had a great time. Wasn't up in the resort area.
