Yesterday was another long day for the members of Maui’s County Council. The proposed density of the Makena Resort proposal was reduced from 1,000 to now 800 luxury units. Be sure to read “New Demands for Makena Resort” in the Maui News and don’t skip the ‘Fact Box’ on the right side within the article.

For years I have been attending the meetings for Wailea 670, now called Honuaula. It is amazing for me to see how fast similar situations at different times can be handled. At this point not in print, but published on the Maui News website this afternoon are the

Breaking News from today: “Council approves Makena Zoning on First Reading“. The second reading has been scheduled for next week, Friday, December 19.

Also read this Maui News article added on December 12, 2008: “Makena Decision weighs heavily“.

Today’s Maui Photo was taken on a recent helicopter flight over South Maui including the Makena Resort. This actually is not my photo. Credits go to a great friend of mine: it was his first time flying without the doors. It is a killer experience if you haven’t done so.

South Maui showed it’s very best side today: no clouds all morning, a light breeze, blue sky and sun. It was the perfect day to go out for some fantastic photos. The colors are magnificent and on Holidays like this, people are different. Everybody seems to be at ease, greeting one another, being extra friendly. Stop the time right here: I love this feeling of true Happiness and hope you had the chance to feel it too!

Today’s Maui Photo has no name. I just call it PERFECT. It’s the view from the Wailea Beach Walkway towards Molokini and Kaoholawe, right outside of Wailea Point. And I really took it today, around 1:00PM.

All the Best Wishes for a peaceful and Happy Thanksgiving Celebration with your family and best friends.

My life is not always about Maui Real Estate. As much as I love to talk to you about Makena Homes and Wailea Condos, I very much enjoy my time away from work. Maui is the Best and I am feel fortunate to live here. I am very thankful for this opportunity. I thank my wife, my family and my friends for their support. Mahalo for your comments & support, also to my team, to help me jump starting my amazing web project. I could have never done it without you.

Keep your email comments coming and I am sure we will be meeting again very soon. Mahalo from the best sun in the world. Mahalo from Maui. Aloha from VW.

Today’s Maui Photo is named “Sunset Colors from La Perouse Bay towards Haleakala”.
