COVID-19, 2020

We didn’t really know what was hitting us two years ago today. One day it was Spring Break at Hualalai and the next everything was shut down. No one could imagine that the resort would be closed for the next nine months. It was so eerie it began to feel as if we were in […]

No restaurants are open, of course. Ke’olu is providing an excellent take […]
