Appreciate your stating the facts we have delayed our trip til next year and hope things are better for you beautiful state
Thanks for your details on the current situation. How do the vaccination requirements for dining, etc. work for families with children too young to be vaccinated?
Hi Andrea.
That rule only applies to those over age 12.
Aloha.
How does the restaurant rule on vaccinated vs unvaccinated people eating inside work if you are only eating at the restaurants at the resort where you are staying? Thank you.
Hi Kym.
Where you are staying doesn’t change those rules at all.
Aloha.
I have moved towards dining out more now. Even with vaccinations, the spread of covid is still highly probable. If the hospitalization rates stay low for the next year, I may transition back to dining in.
Aloha BOH Bro’s
I believe the vast majority of both residents and tourist are respectful of current island dining and travel rules. To get viewers and clicks the media tends to focus on rare bad behavior of a few.
As of stated in the past including BOH I scan several Hawaiian travel websites and speak to friends living on Maui. None are reporting any issues above the norm.
It’s frustrating times it can be wearing on all our patients.
It was disappointing to learn about the death of Chris Lederer. It’s an individuals decision to be vaccinated or not, but when it comes to the Delta strain it’s clear that the vaccinated are fairing far better than un-vaccinated.
What a shame.
Hi Richard.
Thank you. Have a good weekend. BTW, that makes 200 comments to date. 🙂
Aloha.
I can’t wait to see the look on my wife’s face when I pop a bottle of Champagne tonight to celebrate my 200th post on BOH.
Should I go with the Costco Kirkland Brut or Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label?
Hi Richard.
How about Grand Siecle?
Aloha.
Now you’re talking 🎉
200 hundred comments? Piker. Maybe 3 buck chuck. 500 minimum b4 you break out the Kirkland
Hi David.
That makes 407 for you. Mahalo!
Aloha.
DOE 500 E
By BOH count you’re a little short on popping a Kirkland! 😂🎉
Hi Richard.
Is that Fiat or Mercedes?
Aloha
Only an idiot would allow an unvaccinated worker in a food line. I hope he was tested, diagnosed, and immediately removed from prep. I am currently on Maui and, as all customers must verify that they’ve been vaccinated, I ignorantly assumed those preparing the food were also protected. Should I ask the server? Will I always believe the answer? Because of my age and an underlying condition I an triple vaccinated, but there is inconclusive evidence that, if exposed, I could still possibly spread the disease to those ineligible to be vaccinated or those without the mental capacity to protect the society in which they choose to live.
Lockdowns kill Livlihoods!
I just returned from Kona on Sept 17 after a wonderful stay for 7 days. Had no problem eating out and only one time we made a reservation. Only complaint was the rental car was $$$. That was a total ripoff because I saw plenty of rental cars in all the lots. There were 4 us traveling together, all vaccinated and did all the proper paperwork and uploading our vaccine card to Hawaii.gov. Got our wrist bands to board without any problem.
Finally made it to Kauai, and our family rented 2 vehicles at the airport (reserved it last year), and we were surprised by how many vehicles were in the car rental lots!!
