Unless Oahu shuts down I’ll be there staying with family
Contemplate postponing again for the third time. But with both of us vaccinated, we need to move forward, so we are still going to travel to Hawaii next week.
Aloha, I have purchased tickets on AlaskaAir for end of Oct to mid Dec for Kona 2021. I have a small condo and a vehicle. Depending if Hawaii Island shuts down again I will cancel.
I arrived in Kona 2weeks before the outbreak in Mar 2020. I was careful, followed the protocol and had a wonderful 3 months there.
We have our trip to Kauai booked for the second week in November. I guess luck was on our side because we tried to get it booked in September or October and not everything we wanted was available so we waited until it was. It just so happened that it is also our anniversary week. I’m watching the daily posts and keeping my fingers crossed that we are able to go. It’s not just COVID I have to worry about…..my husband has Congestive Heart Failure and this is most likely the last trip we’ll be able to take. We’ve wanted to go for awhile but had to ride out this pandemic. We got the go ahead from his cardiologist and he said to go sooner than later. So this new variant can really hurt us is it lingers too long. Then there is the possibility that my husbands health will keep us from going. We truly plan on just getting some R&R at the resort by enjoying the outdoor pools and outdoor restaurants. I think we will be safe just sticking to ourselves, avoiding crowds and being outdoors the majority of the time!
After cancelling 2 times prior, I would be very inclined to continue with our plans for a week in Kona, a week in Maui, the 1st of Nov. But I am only 1 of 4, and believe the others may not be as
comfortable. We are vaccinated and when we have been to Hawaii previously, we rarely ate out, meals were prepared in condo or quick things on the go. Usually the 4 of us just stay together in our little group. But if there is concern, I guess we will be trying again another time. This truly is bad for everyone. We, who love Hawaii, keep you in our thoughts. With regret….
Time to question vaccination breakthrough cases more serious. I’m hearing more and more everyday that the Delta variant is infecting more vaccinated people than unvaccinated.
Wow. I literally laughed out loud.Go study some science please.

We leave Monday for Kauai. Fully vaccinated. We have not seen our daughter who lives on Kauai in 2 years due to Covid. So we will continue with our plans. We have private housing, no car rental, no resort. Just family time and sitting on the beaches. We think this is reasonable although we know that some may disagree. Your helpful posts have been invaluable especially this year. Many thanks!
Hi Cal.
Thank you. Have a great family visit!
Aloha.
We are still going. Our trip was canceled last year. We are both vaccinated. We are going mid September.
we cancelled 2 planned kauai trips in 2020 and were so looking forward to going in dec. this yr. sadly, i have an autoimmune disease and my rheumatologist says i need to postpone the trip yet again. we’re double vaccinated but the doctor says it’s still too risky to travel. how i miss kauai. hopefully next yr. love your blog!
Hi Deb.
Thanks for letting us know. We hope you can return soon to Kauai.
Aloha.
We had planned to go to Kauai using timeshare points that we either have to use or lose. Now the Delta surge and Governor’s speech have thrown us into indecision. Of course we are fully vaccinated, believe in masking and have filled out all the forms, etc. We have owned at this resort for over 20 years and feel safe going there. It is on a less popular beach and has a lovely pool and garden. If we decide to go, we will support the local economy by buying take-out to eat in our condo, but won’t be going to any local markets, boat trips, or any place where there might be tons of people. I know it will be a different vacation than usual because we love to frequent the farmers markets and eat in local places. We have 4 days to make up our mind and are watching carefully to see what developes. Still up in the air….
