My family was on vacation in Maui during the fires. Everyone was able to get flights out except my dad and I, but we were unable to get back to our resort on the west side because the highway went right through Lahaina. We were stuck on the other side of the island with only our golf clubs and the clothes we were wearing. The first night we stayed at a shelter, but the next day we drove out to Hana after going to the store to get fresh clothes and toiletries. By sheer luck, we found Tony and Caroline's campground.

Tony's is not listed on Google, but it's a MUST...
