Come on. Why not just do like what Thailand does?! They immediately set out new rule of banning travelers from specific countries that have had the new variant cases and anyone else traveling from Africa countries will have to be quarantine for 14 days. That’s it and live on…the doctors even said Omicron isn’t as scary either.
I have reservations in two weeks for Mona. I have cancelled two previous trips due to Covid precautions. Am really hoping that I will be able to make it there this time!
Please keep everyone updated and safe.
Thank you,
Pam
Hope to travel to Hawaii in April. Please don’t lock down
we bought tickets to Hawaii in Dec.2019 to fly May 2020.We were forced to cancle our trip and could not rebook our flight till Nov 2021.we were told we had till march 31 or lose out.We had no choice but go. Cost us 500 more and prices were going up.make sure you stay on top of the airline you use.They make changes and do not tell you.We almost lost our tickets and had to go when we wernt ready.
Wondering about safety of 5 or more hours in a plane? I suggest you google the Reuters article, “61 people test positive after arriving in Amsterdam”. That number was over 10% of the passengers and at least 13 cases are confirmed the new variant. When the president has a news conference to say don’t panic, maybe it is time to reconsider risks of travel.
They were coming from South Africa!
Would Love to go in May they June Birthday flight My Daughter and grandkids live there.They just moved there a year ago miss them very much(empty Nest thanks Chat🙄🙃🍓
My family and I have a trip planned to Oahu at the end of February. I’m hoping nothing changes and we can still make this happen. We are all fully vaccinated and have been traveling. Hoping for the best🤞🏼
I have secured and paid for a vegas trip for the end of January. If things get screwed up it could be possible that travel might be shut down? If we do go could we end up being stuck up there? Whoever is making these rules better wise up. Why make serious changes but say itll go into effect in w few days? If just one person gets in within that window all this shut downs wont make any sense. Now they say the vaccine might not work on this variant. Wish i never got the shots
Aloha,
If every one got the shot, the virus will not mutate, rich country’s should help poor country’s with vaccines this will never end due to misinformation, stay safe enjoy Vegas I think you should be good,I’m in the medical industry.
Mr Mike B… To the contrary – they are saying that two shots plus the booster will definitely work against this variant. Don’t know your source but mine is the WHO and Dr Fauci (like him or not).
Hello BARBARA M
“… they are saying … .”
“They” said:
15 days;
vaccinated can’t get COVID;
vaccinated can’t spread virus;
vaccine is two and done;
vaccine last at least one year;
vaccine last at least nine months;
vaccine last maybe six months;
vaccinate again now;
there is no acquired immunity factor.

In medical science virtually nothing is static. The body changes, environmental changes, disease and treatment changes. Recommendations change. Bottom line is to prevent deaths, reduce community spread & hospitalizations. You can pay attention to those recommendations or be part of the 30% that “I really don’t care” what happens to others. You then become a candidate for the Darwin awards. As a healthcare provider you want to protect others, respond and change your treatments & recommends
Good Day TERRANCE K
Medicine as regards Covid-19 is having a large hole blown in its credibility. Partially by the promises and actions of politicians and partially by its own its arrogance.
The problem you speak of is not so much with those of “I don’t care” as with the increasing numbers of “I no longer trust”. The result of a litany of contradictory statements and actions, and false promises made them.
Misleading and uncorrected erroneous information is a virus unto itself.
Aloha BOH Bro’s
As of this post stock market is up across the board, oil prices are up and Moderna’s stock is up big, plus Biden has come out saying not to panic about Omicron variant.
So I booked a killer cyber Monday deal for the Big Island in May…of course it’s a fully refundable trip.
We will be leaving on Dec.14,Tuesday
We are having a hard time scheduling our 72 hr test. CVS are saying they can’t guarantee if it would get back on time. What do you advise?
Thanks for your comment! We’re traveling December 14’th as well. My understanding is that since we’re fully vaccinated (with booster) we don’t (right now) need a Covid test before flying to Hawaii.
Am I wrong?
Naturally that could change any hour.
If you are vaccinated then no testing is required. Be sure to read all the rules.
@ Vincent – Can you schedule a rapid antigen at Walgreens? That is typically returned in less than an hour. We did that in June and was accepted at Maui.
I’ve waited 5 years to return to Hawaii to visit my family and friends. It’s very nerve wracking just waiting what Hawaii will do next. I’m leaving December 3, I’ve delayed this trip for a year cause of Covid. I’m filling out the required application tomorrow. So I hope December 1st, won’t disappoint me. Mahalo
Do you have a Walgreens?They have test back in 24 hours as they do them onsite at some locations.
LMARIE… Not all Walgreens do Rapid Testing – in fact, the Walgreen’s site is not accurate as it shows some locations doing Rapid when in reality they don’t. Walgreen’s had not one location in our state that did Rapid. Now it shows they do but when you contact those locations, they don’t!!!
Don’t need a covid test if you are vaccinated.
We’ve got flight reservations for Hawaii , Jan22-Jan 29, 2022. Should I be concerned? We plan on taking our 9 year old grandson.
