As someone who stays in Wailea typically and who was also just there, it felt pretty quiet to me. Big Beach was almost empty on Saturday. And the airport seems to have really down-scaled their operations including security and gates. Delta has moved over to the lower number gates, and TSA pre-check has been consolidated. Hertz said many cars have been shipped off the island.

Monkeypod is Monkeypod. Mediocre food with good Mai Tais. Always a line. Even in the depths of Covid. That place is an anomaly to me. No problems getting last minute tables anywhere that I chose to eat.
