  2. Sorry to say, I too just had a C0VID test last Thursday 6/18 and the nasal swab stung and had a burning sensation for the entire ten seconds that they did it before they did the other side. Not the most comfortable thing. I was informed I’d have ny results within 2 days but as I write this, they still don’t have my results back as they show “its in processing. ” I needed to have it done as I was scheduled to have an invasive procedure done this morning only to have it canceled since my results weren’t back.. Now i have to repeat a C0VID test July 15th so my procedure can be done on v the 20th. Hopefully they’ll get my results in time. I guess it’s a good thing I wasn’t planning a trip to the islands, even though I left there 2 days before the shelter in place orders went into effect and am eager to return.

  3. Mahalo for your perspectives and well wishes for a healthy future.
    From my point of view on Maui, the past few months have revealed an unhealthy dependence on tourism. While the underlying cause of the quiet streets, clean beaches and stress less interactions is tragic, the quar antine has brought most residents to resist the return of tourists, at least on the pre-C0VID scale.
    For the health of our islands, we need to act in this time of opportunity to limit the influx of visitors, and therefore, flights. I am unsubscribing with respect for you, but also to disengage with entities promoting tourism.
    Aloha oe.

  4. I just went to book my airfare on Southwest from OAK to HNL for July 31st but nothing was available! Nothing for that day or 10 days before or several days after. I had just looked a few minutes before and there were plenty of flights on all those days but then I got kicked out of the system. I think SW made a major update. I was wondering if they cancelled all those flights that were available just minutes before.

  5. Wondered where you guys were

    Jeff get better soon with that new hip you’ll be running all over the place:). Heal fast and stay safe!

  6. Good to hear that the hip replacement went well. It’s amazing that it can be done as an outpatient.

    I had a COVID test last week that went much faster than yours on the front side. A drive thru with no wait and the entire process took less than 5 minutes. Only one nostril was tested. On the other hand, results were available after 24 hours so the 12-hour wait you had seems very good.

    You mentioned testing “when reopening is announced SHORTLY”. Could you please give us an idea when that information may be coming? Thanks.

    1. Hi again Mike.

      We were expecting it last week, then today, and now we are being told in the next couple of days. It should largely resemble what Alaska is doing.

      Aloha.

  7. Thank you for sharing your stories. It’s very interesting to see how things actually are working in Hawaii. I wish you guys could nail it like New Zealand is, and even they are having some problems.

  8. Aloha Jeff,

    Wishing you a speedy recovery and the very best. It’s great to see you back and providing updates on the most beautiful place on the planet. Me and the family look forward to our future visit as soon as the islands are open for visitors.

    Aloha and a speedy recovery.
