Wow. Self-destruction may soon, or has, out-paced viral destruction.

In reading the posted comments, I don’t think the state has much to worry about in regards to being over-run with Covid-bearing visitors. Given that the state has already postponed re-opening twice, not many potential visitors have confidence it will happen Oct. 1. (Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me). Visitors are delaying their trips for, at the least, several months from now. RIP Hawaii economy.

i have a naat test appt rescheduled for october now.
there is the ability to comply with the 72 hr demand yet still we arent welcome.
the desperation of the locals will no doubt have to morph into outrage once they are through being bamboozled by a commission that has no plan? are you kidding? how does that serve the local economy? cases are not deaths. check the recovered number while ignoring the fading tourism. so sad. meanwhile, four rebooks later , now have oct. nov and february reservations. airlines and rental managers have been sooo good to us. im with you, cheri. i truly will return to this paradise.

There is a new FDA approved saliva test that is quick and inexpensive. Maybe this will be the solution to travelers being tested prior to arrival!

I have done some rebooking this year, but I am the Eternal Optimist and not giving up on HI. Costco is having some amazing deals on HI beginning in November 2020 into June/July 2021. Book the package sans the flights and reserve it for a fraction of the package price, you will be billed closer to your travel date (watch the cancellation schedule). Then book your flights separately as some airlines (Hawaiian and Alaska, etc.) are currently offering no cancel or change fees. Worst case scenario, you are refunded your deposit and you’ll have an airline credit.
For 2020, I have late Oct. and Dec. booked, and 2021 booked for Feb., April, June, and July. I think I’m driving my husband crazy. HA! Let’s take advantage of these deals and support HI.
