Movie stars and entertainers are all flocking to Mexico and the Caribbean. Nobody is going to Hawaii. NPR as a source?
No comparison between the two destinations….want to go with fear of kidnapping and dysentry…go to the one that is not part of our USA…since 1985 i was warned about going south of the border. Made 35 trips to HNL instead. Though there is a significant increase in homeless and now economic hardships, no question when tbe dust of crazy reversals in policy as to travel rules, Hawaii will win as a unique paradise among the tropics. Unless it decides to not revive Aloha.
In mid-December, our family travelled to Maui for most of the reasons why people are frustrated trying to get there. I personally feel that the 72 hour testing requirement and the mandate to wear face masks is the least we can do to help minimize the spread of this pandemic. Knowing that Mexico is one of the countries who is testing the least, and their dismissal on mask wearing/social distancing, should be a huge red flag for anyone wanting to go to that country.
Our trip to Maui was incredible as well. We stayed at the Kea Lani who treated us like royalty. Upon check in, they required us to show our electronic negative results and the resort mandated mask wearing in all public places. Each time we went around the resort, everyone seemed to be complying with the rules. The staff couldn’t have been any nicer and we felt completely safe.
Sure, getting to Mexico is very easy. Getting the virus in Mexico is even easier.
I don’t do Mexico anymore, have seen too much crap go down once outside the resort. You say why leave the resort? Because I like to see stuff other than a made-up environment
We will not travel to Mexico for several reasons.
We have been traveling to Kauai annually for many years but made the very difficult decision to cancel our January 2021 trip due to the ever changing rules and the added expense of Quarantine and testing again. The many unknowns and added stress along with the additional cost were the determining factors.
Thank you for everything you do and have given during all of this. It has been my go to for the most up to date information.
Maholo.
Hi Darla.
Thank you. We appreciate your comments and hope you can return to Kauai again soon.
Aloha.
The Western Coast of MX and the Eastern Coast of MX are like night and day. Our son honeymooned on the east Coast of MX in October – Maroma Beach and Isla Mujeres respectively, had a wonderful time, felt safe and said all protocols were followed.
No one got sick. Thankfully, they were not harmed in any way. We plan to vacation to MX later this year. Isla Mujeres or Grand Mayan near Playa del Carmen. We love the island and feel safe there. The Grand Mayan is pretty well self contained with lots of open air dining. Would prefer going back to Hawaii but have decided to wait until the ‘powers that be’ allow travel without masks and quarantine.
On the other hand, we wouldn’t feel as good about travel to the Western coast of MX.
We always buy a full coverage travel health policy whenever we travel outside the USA with zero out of pocket and a ‘bag and tag’ ‘fly body home’ feature. Morbid to think of, yes, but would save a bundle if anything did happen.
ALOHA and Adios :0)
We’re seriously considering a Mexico vacation for 2021 over Hawai’i. I’ve canceled too many trips to Hawai’i in 2020 and it still seems like it won’t be as enjoyable to visit as Mexico would be. We’ve had other people who own multiple properties on Hawai’i and they said Mexico was great compared to trying to get to the Islands right now. So we’re looking into it.
There’s no way I would vacation in Mexico, even before the pandemic. For many years Mexico has not been a safe place to travel for many reasons. I am a teacher of many students whose families have fled Mexico because it’s not safe. The fact that I have a Food Allergy makes it even worse because I would not trust having my health in the hands of others in that country, even at top resorts. I know many people happily travel there for their vacations but it’s not a place I will go.
I am going to neither Hawaii nor Mexico. I am just staying home until I get the vaccine. I love Hawaii, but I don’t want to get on an airplane. I applaud their quarantine!
Does quoting the WHO mean that we are now living in “opposite” world because “anything” those fools come out with has generally been crap! They were the ones that said early on that the China virus was no big deal but little did we know at the time just how in bed they are with China. Right now neither Mexico or Hawaii is an option, not because of me, but because of my partner and if she’s not going then I’m not going but I would be on a plane to Mexico in a heartbeat if she would go.
