Questions that could potentially put the kibosh on visitors’ plans.

As I read the comments, not one seems remotely in favor of travel to Hawaii with the proposed 2nd test quarantine proposal. Hawaii might as well just stay shut and die on the vine…sorry.
If the island has concerns about its visitor exposure of only having one test, maybe they should actually enforce stricter social distancing rules that appear to be the main reasoning for the island outbreaks-sans travel. The last thing I plan to do if/when I get there is a condo potluck.
Hawaii as a whole has rightly complained about the lack of contact tracers and now that more have been added, those contact tracers are running into a brick wall in getting deadend responses from contacts.
Hawaii, there is quite a bit of self inflicted covid pain going on, keeping tourism shutdown isn’t going to fix that.
Aloha, I prefer testing prior to getting on the flight to Hawaii. Mahalo
Hi Marilyn.
Good to hear from you again. Thanks.
Aloha.
I am the optimistic fool that actually booked flights on 10/15 to visit our home in Kauai. Was on a direct flight to Kauai but it was cancelled and changed to a connecting flight through Honolulu. Hawaiian Air said they cancelled several of their October flights. Hmmmm seems like Hawaiian Air again knew what was going on before anyone else. Sad that after 3 months the Governor, Lieutenant Governor and Mayors still can’t get their acts together. How about focusing on social distancing, masks and other prevention methods that don’t have such a negative economic and social impact? Great solution especially when there are are no tests available after the 3 day quarantine! May as well keep the 14 day quarantine rather than pretend they are trying to open back up.
This is ridiculous. Quarantine travelers that have already tested negative? If you want a retest fine, but why quarantine someone that’s negative?? No one will come after spending 130$ to get tested then be quarantined anyway on arrival. I’m was coming Nov 1st, but not if this is the plan.
Hawaii has elected the dumbest,the most incompetent, the most feckless leadership on the planet. It reflects poorly on Hawaii residence who voted these clowns in, then sit on their hands and allow them to continue to ruin their state.
Haven’t you had enough? You should immediately petition the legislature to recall and remove the Governor and if a single one of these Mayors gets reelected, its on you. And if they are not up for election they should be recalled. Wake up Hawaii, its time for action, stop complaining and get rid of them.
Geeze. One thing after another. It’s almost like the Gov and his other island 3 Stoogies, can’t agree on anything. I wouldn’t booke reservations till May. And even that date is problematic
I’m traveling on united from houston to maui by way of honolulu. Then 11 days later flying to kauai for a week. Our condos are booked and rental car is booked. If it’s not going to work out then I guess we will need to cancel. We leave houston on a tuesday and would need to get tested on a saturday? Then it would ruin our stay in kauai to be quarantined for 3 days….
I am confused, they publicly announced Hawaii to open with a 72 hour test prior to arrival to alleviate the need for the 14 day quarantine and now the individual islands are wanting to set their own criteria? When is someone going to make the final call on this? Do the individual islands have the authority to invoke their own restrictions? Any ideas?
I am really confused now If I fly from Las Vegas to Maui but land and change planes in Honolulu with a valid negative covid 19 test within 72 hours of arrival in Maui Do I still have to quarantine?
If I fly from Vegas to Phoenix then DIRECT to Maui with a valid negative covid 19 test within 72 hours of arrival in Maui Do I still have to quarantine?
Govenour mentioned tests thru CVS. I called my local CVS in Vegas, they had NO CLUE about anything.
Confused in Vegas.
We have planned a 4 month visit to the Big Island Dec1 to Mar 31 which is costing us a fortune in CA$. this would be our 22nd year of pumping money into the HI economy. If they (Gov’t)can’t get their s…t together we’ll cancel and they can kiss our tourism bucks goodbye.

Aloha Guys
This has become crazy. First it was do what Alaska is doing. Now you have so many people involved it’s become undoable. What happened to Lt Gov. Green’s workable idea.
Mahalo Guys
Hi Roy.
We just don’t know where this is going to end up. In French Polynesia, they test twice but don’t quarantine after the first test. That seems more workable.
Aloha.
BOH, I would do that 2nd test scenario. The quarantine is overboard if the traveler has already taken the pre-test. If Hawaii thinks they need to eradicate the virus, it just is not going to happen. Everyone is better served by enforced social distance guidelines.
If they require a second test, they should allow for the quicker/cheaper antigen tests be taken…no quarantine in the meantime.
I watched Lt Gov Josh Green’s video today, nothing has much changed.The big day is next tuesday.

Hi Roy.
We will have an update this afternoon, and there will be at least two events between now and Tuesday if not more. Crazy times for sure. Thanks.
Aloha.
This is very confusing. When the State of Hawaii announced the pre-test program we booked tickets and a vacation rental in Kauai. It now appears that our vacation is in jeopardy thanks to the state’s waffling on the issue. This is very bad for tourism.
