Thanks for the information. We have reservations September 13 for 11 days. We haven’t canceled yet because we don’t know when to rebook or what we will experience with American Airlines. Our condo in Maui will let us cancel without any penalty. We pray for everyone on the islands because we have been treated like family every time we visited. We will see you when things are better.

Thanks.

Yep just cancelled our annual trip in October. We love Maui but understand. Maybe 2021.
Thankful we visited in February, 2020 but had broken leg. Not fun.

Thank you for all of your updates. I am so sad about the state of things on the islands and hope that effective leadership will emerge to mobilize a solution! If more contact tracers are needed and many people are out of work, it seems like two problems could be solved at one time! We’re hoping for a trip next April (rescheduled from this past April) and it has been so nice to receive your news from inside the islands. I really appreciate your communication.

Seems to me there’s a lot of “talk” and no action being done in the Hawaii State Offices. I don’t understand – when the hospitals are overwhelmed now and the state is in an economic disaster why Hirono or Ige don’t ask the President to send the hospital ships like he did for New York? If they cared that much about their constituents wouldn’t they want the help? Instead all we see is whining and wringing of hands. What I feel is if what you are doing doesn’t work, wouldn’t it seem appropriate to reach out for help?
Thank you so much for keeping it real on the Beat of Hawaii, I believe it’s time for more people to question what’s really going on in the Hawaii Government.

We received an email from the Grand Wailea saying they are cancelling our reservation for Sept 8th. We were getting married but decided to move it until next year.

Hoping things change soon. Once the “miracle vaccine” appears after the election, tourism will hopefully resume! (Without quartines)!

What is going to happen to Hawaii’s economy? How will the people of Hawaii involved in tourism be able to support themselves? This is devastating. I see Hawaii is now on NY state’s quarantine list. So sad for us all. We have spent two to three weeks a year in Hawaii every single year since 2008. I am in mourning for the islands I have grown to love.

Folks, we need a sense of proportion. States and the Federal Government along with Mayors are trying to keep people safe. Cases around the world have spiked recently and the infrastructure for testing from the Government’s partners is not there. I find it incomprehensible that people get angry because elected officials are working to keep them safe and change actions when case data and medical opinion change.
Yes, it is upsetting, annoying and depressing to see the travel restrictions. I have had to cancel 3 trips this year and it looks like Labor Day is going to be the fourth cancelation. So fingers crossed for Thanksgiving and the holidays. However we all face adversity in life and it is time to suck it up and wait it out. When you think of what families who have lost to Covid have gone through, when you think what people have been through with Hurricanes, we are lucky. The disease will be overcome and no matter how much cable news tries to make you despair, things will return to normal (though perhaps Airlines will keep booting sick people off planes now which will be a great step forward). Just a question of altering time scales and keeping mellow.
