Got off the Emerald in LA the day you were beginning your voyage … so, I’ve been following. News reports this morning say that housing on Maui was already at a critical shortage before the fires … and thousands have been displaced because of the fires.

Airlines have been sending larger planes to the Island to help accomplish this larger than normal exodus of vacationers.
