We are finally headed back the end of March and would be happy to do anything we can to keep the locals and islands safe. We are just glad to be able to visit our home away from home again.
No thank you. This is just another way that points out to the visitors they are not welcome and that the Aloha spirit does not truly exists. Why don’t the locals have to participate? Obvious discrimination against tourists. They want our money but don’t want us.
Thank you for the article. It just gives “one” more reason to find a more hospitable vacation destination. They are constantly cutting off their nose to spite their face. Their actions are going to have a very long lasting on the local economy. Those who are passing/ proposing these edicts are still getting their salaries while the businesses die.
No…not…never will I subscribe to any form of app tracking or tracing. I had hopes of Maui in August 2021 (post vaccine) since Kauai is pretty much off the board due to endless draconian restrictions but this finishes it off for me (a long time Hawaii visitor) for 2021…another nail for the Hawaiian tourist industry. I hope there is a Hawaii to come back to when that day arrives…good luck to all…Aloha
aloha!
this is nonsense, and if implemented will reduce their 25% occupancy to even less. will go to big island or oahu instead
Well, I live in Maui and travel to the mainland several times a month. Not sure if I’ll fall under this mandate or the essential travel BS..
Irregardless, no app for me. Without a warrant they won’t see my phone.
The rest of my comment was censored… lovely
Doug, I’m all for tracing. This isn’t Big Brother. It’s health and once you leave, tracing ends with no usable traces left.
Aloha BOH
I have a question or 2.
Mayor Victorino reports since October Maui has had less then a 25 percent occupancy rate, was he surprised or disappointed by that number? Did he indicate what they projected the occupancy rate should be during that period?
Haven’t travelers been told for almost a year we aren’t welcome on Hawaii. Have we all not been told that we aren’t wanted on Kauai or Molokai or to visit Hana.
Who hasn’t seen the video of Hawaii’s Karen chasing people off a beach or video chants of locals crying hoale go home or signs stating hoale isn’t welcome in my restaurant.
Now they want to contact trace everyone. I’m laughing at anyone who is bellyaching about your privacy is being invaded, but you continue to carry a smart phone with you.
Final question Mayor Victorino are tourist welcome on Maui or not?
Oh by the way I heard this morning that Hawaii is in the bottom 5 of states who’ve received covid vaccine and getting their population inoculated. They were ranked just below my state of California. Good job by both.
Hi Richard.
We don’t know what the mayor was expecting in terms of occupancy, and as far as we know he didn’t say. Visitors are not welcome? That isn’t true. Certainly, things are different, but if you read the comments (and I suspect you do), visitors are enjoying all the islands except Kauai at this time.
Aloha.
You are exactly correct. A year of degrading “dirty” mainlanders. At the same time welcoming Japan with open arms, yet Japan is having their spike and lockdowns now. Japan’s positivity rate us also creeping up above the 6% range.
Any economic devastation the islands encounter is deserved due to all the Karen’s complaining about the Haole mainlanders, and the rest of us sane citizens not raising our voices. Or if we did we were censored and called uncaring.
I am having a total brain fart.
Test is 130 on Friday.
Flight from Portland is 110.
I have a short stop in San Jose which leaves for OGG at 410.
Is my test too early? Does it instead need to be at 410 on Friday?
Thanks in advance. My flight was changed and now I wonder if I need to change testing time.
Hi Dn.
Yes too early. It needs to be within 72 hours of the sjc-ogg flight.
Aloha.
Yes thanks. I wasn’t awake when I asked it. Does anyone know the best solution in the Portland area for 430 on Friday? I’ll drive to Seattle if I have to. That might be too late for Vault to get to UPS. Thoughts?
Aloha Dan!
Omg Dan,so glad I’m not the only one confused on lining up my testing within the 72hour time frame! I originally had a Tuesday morning flight out of Chicago then a 4 hour layover in Seattle. Tuesday flights make it even more challenging to get tested and the results back in time since Sunday might be a wasted day with no FedEx pick ups. I changed my flight(thank god no change fees) to a Wednesday to give me a better chance of the meeting the 72hr window. Now I’m lining up my testing time! So worth the hassle to keep everyone safe but definitely challenging. My daughter lives on Maui and I am doing everything I can to see her after a year. Good luck and you are not the only one having a Brain fart! Aloha!
I’m already booked for a Maui vacation in early March and would definitely be willing to use the app
It is a hard No!!!
