We are a state in the United States. Not a country or autonomously governed territory. So we don’t get to write our own rules. Sadly all locations mentioned will not be on my vacation list. Making visiting much more expensive and a difficult task all the enjoyment out of travel. Not to mention all the planning and effort and if a cancellation becomes required good luck getting deposits and airline tickets back.
We’ve cancelled our trip and from everything I’m seeing (and hearing), it’s going to take year’s for Hawaii to recover. I understand the issues with the medical system on the islands, but there should be a way to reopen. I would think that you could require a test for everyone coming to the islands. If someone does not want to be tested – then ship them back home. It does not make since to me for some to get tested before coming and other not to. If someone tests negative and someone else does not get tested and has it – then anyone close to him/her could then carry it. What ever you do – it’s got to be safe. You also can’t stay closed for several more months. As if you do, then you will see some no longer consider Hawaii as a vacation spot.
I’ll add, we cancelled – rather than reschedule because from what I have read, a number of businesses have gone out of business. I say that because I’m on the email list for some of the places my wife and I like to visit and they are closing their doors, with no plans on ever reopening.
I’m really concerned about Hawaii’s future….
My family and I have hotel and flight arrangements for the coming Thanksgiving week; it was planned almost two years ago. Do you think that testing will be settled and finalized before then?
It’s been 2 1/2 years since we’ve been there for my niece’s wedding, so we really didn’t have time to just relax and enjoy Maui.
This virus isn’t going away it will be with us for a very long time. In the future C0vid will be treated like flu, but instead of seasonal outbreaks we will be looking at a year round infection cycle. Vaccines and treatments will become routine for us, but even with this in place the infection will spread. Hawaii’s only question is when will they be prepared or willing to deal with a surge of c0vid virus on the islands.
We are being held hostage by politicians with no vision or capacity to loosin there reins of power ! I live on Maui and there hasn’t been a case here in 2 1/2 months and yet here we are. Our governor is determined to turn the islands into a wasteland of poverty
