Sometimes the other board has good topics… Hawaii, what’s better/worse than 40 years ago?

When we went to Maui the road to Hana was primitive, the bike ride down Haleakala was really cool, Mamas Fish House was good but we liked Longhis better, the Kaanapali resorts were really nice, Kauai and Big Island were just starting to develop, and Mokena was still the undeveloped semi-nudist place the Stones went to.
Now, Maui seems like Oahu junior?
Maui is fine, but to be honest, it's like 25% better than the Gulf side of Florida, but at 2X the
Kauai is 5x better than the other Hawaiian Islands....maybe 10x.

probably just another real jerk in life
maui has lost a lot of appeal to me with the destruction of lahaina. kauai is definitely better.*
