"I was sitting at a table on an open bay, / Waiting for drink of rum. / When I asked my waiter for the time of day, / She said look out, there's a centipede coming your way. / In Lahaina, the sugar cane grow, / In Lahaina, the living is slow, / In Lahaina, the mangoes are sweet, / But the centipede, he crawls all over your feet." -- Kenny Loggins and Jim Messina, "Lahaina"
Lahaina is on the Hawaiian island of Maui and has a population of 11,704 (as of the 2010 census). However, since Lahaina is a popular tourist destination, you can expect that population to nearly quadruple during the high tourist season. Don't despair. Although the downtown and waterfront areas may be swarming with tourists at times, Lahaina is spread out over 9.3 miles, which helps maintain the small-town feel, even during tourist season. Overall, Lahaina is a beautiful, relaxing little town, perfect for those interested in escaping the rat race and pursuing a laid-back island lifestyle. See more
