Maui is not the island I visit with regularity. Oahu is the island I like to call "home".
However, when in Maui, I usually stay on the West side . . . from Lahaina up to Kapalua . . . so I know the area that was devastated.
As it's Friday, a local Hawaiian tradition, beginning decades ago, is the playing of "Aloha Friday" on all the island radio stations.
To all of my Five-O ohana . . . thinking of you.
The song is very dated (My first recollection of Aloha Friday, was in the late 80's).
Some of the terms I find endearing (besides the use of Pidgen):
Bank Americard, is the modern day Visa.
Okole is Hawaiian for one's bottom (butt).
Keikeis is Hawaiian for kids.
Kalakaua is the main drag, running the length of Waikiki.
Pulehu is a term for grilling meat.
Y'all should know the word Poke . . .
