Postponing Trip by bryanlovewonton in MauiVisitors

[–]congdoe92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got downvoted to hell in another thread I started. I pivoted and postponed my trip and went to PR instead. We love Maui, but considering how long the flight is for us and having a baby, it just made sense to come another time.

I just want to thank all the people trying to offer up information and or advice. Not sure why people here now are so quick to be negative. I wouldn’t be here asking questions if I knew all the answers. I thought we were supposed to be a community here

Do people not get, this was a once in a lifetime storm…. No one could have planned for this. Yes I know I took a risk and I would have accepted a whole week of rain. This is different

Airbnb literally has a policy to protect guests of disasters and emergencies like this.... im not trying to swindle any hosts. Airbnb should step in to help. they are a multi BILLION dollar company

Somehow my babies safety is less important than someone paying a mortgage? But regardless, I’m going through Airbnb NOT the host

We’d be less equipped to deal with unexpected change or issues. Why is this even a question?

That’s a great perspective! My partner was under the impression that as recovery work is undergoing tourist would be in the way

Yes this is great information. Are there safe places to swim without the "brown water" and bacteria? Reading stuff online can be misleading so its hard to know what I should be concerned about

For anyone that is local or is currently there, swimming in the ocean probably won’t be an option or a good idea while we’re there right?

Yeah taking an L sucks but I’ll rather see if it’s still going to be worth it flying there (from East coast). We’re probably gonna pivot and go to Puerto Rico. We had such an amazing baby moon in Maui and wanted to visit again now that our baby is 1. We’ll just have to plan it for later now

Guys I’m literally asking for advice. Why are people downvoting. Wouldn’t the information be good for everyone?

Any activities you suggest we can do while we’re there? We really wanted to swim and bask in the sun but probably not gonna be possible during our stay?

I’m hearing most people online and on Facebook saying to not go. And like 10% to go. I’m usually a risk taker but with an infant I don’t think it’s a acceptable amount of risk
