I want to happily say here that Dave Levy, the new owner of the Mai Kai is spending lots of money to renovate the place. His love of it is incredible and when we congregate there for Hukilau, we will see the difference. I am excited. I spent months thinking last Hukilsu would be my last visit to the Mai Kai and now I know what Dave is doing and it makes my heart glad. I may yet get to enjoy a cocktail there with my daughter in a few years.
