Maui, Hawaii

May 1997

 


 
What started as a fun luau on the grounds of our hotel turned into the scariest moment of my life. After the sun set and the entertainment ended, we walked down to the stage area to get Danny and Lisa. Except that Lisa was no where to be found.

Danny didn't know where she went. Nor did any of the hotel staff. Had she wandered away? Fallen into the ocean? Been taken by someone?

We dashed back to our room, and called hotel security to help us look - with no immediate luck. So we went back down to the luau grounds to look again. Finally, someone from the hotel called and said that a staff member found her and had given her a ride back to the lobby.

The whole incident probably took 15 minutes or so but seemed like 15 hours. And still makes me panic even years later.
