That's a damn shame. Back then it was like spending two weeks in paradise. Take the Hana bikes, nice ride to one of the nearby coves just my wife and I... and have staff deliver a picnic lunch with wine, linens, china, etc. Just gorgeous and tranquil. We hated to leave.

So Lowell Thomas and Lucky Lindy were correct to fear what eventually happened

Just remembered Hasegawa's General Store, small at the time and the rice paddies nearby.

In Honolulu you have to step over the homeless.

They were catching the last bus at night and spending the night at the airport-—open 24 hours a day.

They can freshen up(?) and snooze the night away.

One of my best memories of Maui was eating at Mama's Fish House near Paia around forty years ago. Magical.

Hit it a few times over the years after, and after moving to Hawaii, took the Superferry over from Oahu, eight or so years ago after a twenty year absence and the place had changed so much we did not recognize it. You used to park on the sand lot, now they have valet parking.

Prices are stratospheric. Gone totally tourist. yet another reason to avoid the island. Yes I am conservative and like things the way they were.
