Maui, Hawaii

Our return to Maui this January was more than just a vacation; it was a homecoming to the place where we first began exploring the world together decades ago. We found a community that has masterfully balanced its deep cultural roots with a quiet, powerful resilience following the Lahaina fires, proving that the Valley Isle’s spirit remains as vibrant as ever. Whether we were rolling along the perfectly accessible Kaanapali Beach boardwalk at the Westin Nanea or toastng to the sunset with a lilikoi-foam Mai Tai, Maui reminded us that it is not just a scenic escape, but a place of profound connection where the warmth of aloha is felt in every interaction.
