My brother said the same thing about the food! It's on my list, for sure. We have a friend in Tokyo who's been asking us to visit Hawaii would be a perfect stop on the way there. Great to know about the reduced rental prices. Has the island fully recovered from those fires yet?
It depends what you mean by fully recovered. I would say that the island is not fully recovered in terms of tourist volumes or the short term rental prices, Airbnb prices for luxury waterfront condo rental are down from $500 a night to $200 a night and you can find some in Kahana that are in the $150 a night range for full waterfront. Tourist volumes are also half of those pre-fires and downtown Lahaina is basically empty nothing has been rebuilt there.
But there are other much better places to visit like: Wailea, Kanapali, Napili and even Kihei. The only thing that is not there is downtown Lahaina.
