      We were planning to go in a month and we’re trying to cancel. Virtually none of the companies were willing to offer a refund (including a luau in Lahaina)

      Once the fire started threatening kaanapali our hotel & such has started to offer refunds with an understandably long wait time.

      We just switched islands, but we’re pretty privileged to afford to buy a whole different vacation while waiting on refunds.

        Damn. I am on the same boat and planning to try and get refunds this week. The resort already offered a credit for up to 2 years but I don’t want a credit, just a refund. How is it going for you?

      I genuinely don’t care. Using the location of ongoing mass human sufferring as a tourist destination is disgusting and entirely indefensible. “I couldn’t get a refund” is not a valid excuse.

        Says the rich dude. “Sure, just give up 3k and a week of non-refundable vacation time because internet people will virtue signal”.

          I’m not rich at all. I’ll never be able to afford to retire, much less drop everything to go to fucking Hawaii on vacation. I’m just not a shitty person with no empathy.
