First, there is still that ‘Safe Travels’ does not have anything to do with International Travelers, who’s own Tests, not part of ‘Safe Travels’ are acceptable, American Citizens have a more difficult protocol to observe. Do the approved Vendors for ‘Safe Travel’ pay the State a %? To the closing, “Keep it simple stupid” over-rides Ige giving Mayor’s free-reign while travelers are forced through Oahu for connections in most cases!
The vaccine isn’t 💯, its public knowledge Both unvaxxed & vaxxed spread the virus IF THEY AREN’T practicing Covid protocols: (get vaxxed)/mask up/6ft/don’t touch your face/cough into your elbow(even w/mask on)/wash hands/limit public places &last but not least, stay home. But if vaxxed get Covid, it reduces the severity. Unvaxxed gets the worst of Covid & isn’t that why we’ve been on lockdown,To avoid that? We weren’t ever getting out from under this w/out a vax.
Wow people really going off still in this forum against one another. I wonder how many have actually travelled or looks like they all have been staring at their computers for too long and are frustrated. Go out for a walk or just slow down for a moment and let your self breathe.
Hi Rob and Jeff. Hope you two are enjoying the holiday season now upon us. Interesting news update. I can see where each island may differ on requirements as there are different quotas of visitors coming to each island.Kinda hard to predict how much enforcement is needed. The basic regulations should definitely be kept intact until 2022 is here. I know, only a month away. Good to keep the Safe Travels site happening. So what ensures that a protocol is followed. Be there again next week. Aloha
Hi Debra.
Thanks for your many comments and please enjoy your time in Hawaii. And Happy Thanksgiving.
Aloha.
It’s all a bit too much…..forget Hawaii!
My husband and I returned to Southern California on November 4 after 3+ weeks in Princeville. The Hawaii mask mandate didn’t bother us as we were accustomed to using masks in public areas of CA. The individual Hawaii mayors will soon have an opportunity to apply their common sense regarding their county’s Covid regulation needs. Great idea. Specifications must be simple are clear. Hopefully worded in a similar fashion for each county.
As a resident of rural Hawaii island I think the ability of the mayors to make their own decision works well. The rules for crowded Oahu and rural Hawaii don’t need to be the same.
Is this confusing for anyone else? What kind of half crack direction is this? Soooo it’s the residents spreading covid “community spread” and travels. Hmmmm, you might think that perhaps they took it home after working w/the tourist? And in the same breath they say we will follow suit after california w/their high covid? Huh? But it’s the residents spreading it..right? Ugh!!
Hey Guys. Somehow I’m not getting your emails anymore. I looked in my Junk Folder and they are not there. 🙁
Hi Rae-Marie.
On checking, you are subscribed to emails, but it looks like you only signed up today. In any event, you should get them from now on.
Aloha.
Nope. There goes any reason for visiting an ever changing landscape. Sianora, we’ll take our vacation $ elsewhere. With reservations made we’ll in advance and each island tyrant changing rules maybe daily? No Thanks for your inhospitality!
Keep this up and you’ll soon be a third world country. See how long you can last when the free money runs out!
So true Rich. I limited my work travel (should have been 4-6x) and never wanted to visit HI for personal ever since the ‘15 days to slow the spreed. Mexico has been a great alternative over 4x since this this drama, nicer hosts/people who want you to visit, better value and no ever changing rules,
So why are you here on this site? Go find a Mexico site to pump up. I’ve been twice June and a couple of weeks ago. Rules are clear. Not sure you all seem to miss that.
Its not a right to be able to visit Hawaii its a privilidge and we should all look at that way. I dont care what it takes to get there. Just pay attention – the rules will be clear
Clear as mud :0(
What’s not. Lear to you exactly!? When you get there there are signs everywhere.
It just all depends how bad do you want to be in Hawaii. Personally I don’t care what the restrictions are. We live with restrictions in our lives every day. It’s not that hard
As one who has postponed our Hawaii trip 3 times now, I am watching BOH regularly. We now have reservations planned for April 2022, to visit Maui and the BI. It’s going to be interesting to see what each island is going to require. I sure pray by April there will be answers for Inter-island visitors!!!
