Maui No Ka Oi

I'm sorry that Jan Sershen believes Maui has changed so much in the past 24 years that Death Valley would be a better place to visit ("MVB Letter", Sept. 13, 2012). I've visited Maui eight times in the past 18 years and have seen many changes during that time, some for the better, some not so good. Despite some negative changes, I'll keep coming back to The Valley Isle for its natural beauty and for the Aloha Spirit I feel while visiting. Sershen can have Death Valley...as for me, I try to avoid vacationing in locations with "Death" in the name.
