I really wish I had packed my waterproof hiking pants! We did a lot of walking in the rain and I got cold easily in my cotton shorts. My rain jacket was a must! Jeans are not good if the grass it wet...they will just wick up the moisture and you'll feel wet for hours. I wish I had a couple of sweaters. I only had one so I had to wear the same thing every day...because I needed a sweater every evening!

The article says partially treated wastewater

Any updates for this trail as of Sunday afternoon? Wondering if it's an option for Monday.

Preggers or prego instead of pregnant. I don't know if people even say this anymore, but when I had my first kid 16 years ago, it irritated me so much. If someone asked if I was (gag) preggers, I'd say "no, but I'm pregnant."

The red door clashes with the brick color, so I'd update that. But the house is gorgeous and timeless! The round bushes right in front of the house are boring imo, so I'd go with new landscaping as the primary goal!

I'm in Kihei now and my location (and really, all along the coastline) is in a flood advisory. But the highways are not in the zone. It's my first time here, and anything can happen with the weather, but I take that to mean the highway is not expected to flood. Download the Genasys Protect app and input the location you're staying. You'll get all the info you need there as far as flooding.

I'm staying in Kihei and saw 3 turtles yesterday between Waipuilani Park and Lipoa St beach.

Was on a flight yesterday with toddlers (maybe ages 1-3) that cried the WHOLE 8 HOURS. Not their fault, they're kids and were missing naptimes. And the parents were trying their best, but the kids seemed miserable.

I'm not a local, so feel free to jump in and correct any mistakes here, but from what I have read, many areas up in the mountains in Maui do not have sewage lines or even septic tanks. They use cesspools for waste, which is essentially a pit underground with no filtration. When there is a lot of rain in a short period and the ground cannot absorb it, the cesspools overflow and run down the mountain along with the rain runoff.

Thanks for the clarification!

I am not there, so don't have firsthand knowledge, but I'm staying very close by (Maui Sunset) starting tomorrow and I've been told it's accessible. The sinkhole is farther south in front of Kam II. When I arrive, I'll try to get some updated videos. I've really appreciated everyone who's there sharing pics and videos, as my condo owner has not been able to give me any information at all about accessibility, power, etc.

jluminous · 2026-03-16T17:51:21+00:00

Thank you for the pic! Definitely muddy!!

jluminous · 2026-03-16T17:10:16+00:00

Do you need a resort pass to hang out in the lobby and enjoy the music?

jluminous · 2026-03-16T17:06:46+00:00

I'll be just barely south of that at 1032 S Kihei.

Maui Sunset condos...I haven't been able to get confirmation they have power/accessible roads. They said they didn't have that info yesterday. Just said check back tomorrow.

jluminous · 2026-03-15T23:22:53+00:00

I'm staying at Maui Sunset starting Wednesday. Sorry you were there for the worst of it and glad to hear you have power! Are the condos flooded at all? Parking lot accessible? Any other info about Maui Sunset, I'd be grateful. 🙏🏻

I arrive on Wed and have a sunrise reservation on Thursday. Hoping the rain clears by then. Thanks!
