I just found out today that I'll be in Honolulu for five days in mid-April. Hush-hush ZLF business....



Turns out my favorite resort on earth (on the big island) was damaged by the tsunami - won't reopen until the end of April but they are continuing to pay all their employees fully during this time as they are helping to clean up.

The Kona Village sustained more damage:

Kona Village Resort in Kailua-Kona: The 125-bungalow resort was closed, and no reopening date had been set. "We are still going through assessments," spokeswoman Karine Joret said. "There was pretty severe damage done to the resort. Over 20 bungalows were destroyed, as well as damage to our restaurant, gift shop, office and reception areas, bars on the beach and pools."
