We have been to Maui a few times during this covid mess. If flying Hawaiian Air ask for them to "pre-screen" you here on the mainland. It will make entry once on-Island a breeze. They will give you a wristband
Just past CJ’s ranch. We took two rental cars over stuff we definitely shouldn’t have. No idea how the tires didn’t pop.Got back from Kauai three weeks ago.
South Shore, Maehupele or something like that?
North Shore is where it's at brah
Take lots of masks, indoor compliance is 100% on Kauai.
In April 2018, on the North Shore it rained 54" in 24-hours - the most rain ever recorded in US History.
That is why we stopped going to Hawaii, felt like they were doing us a favor by being there. I know it’s not the most popular with the folks here but every trip we take to Mexico is better than the last.
We love Baja, been there several times for off-road races and trips. The people are dirt poor, but so kind.
doesn't matter if you've been tested or not if you don't follow https://travel.hawaii.gov/#/ to the letter you're fucked. if you aren't vaxxed you will be testing several times or not eating out (this may have just changed??)
When you arrive at your airline at the airport, that's where you show your test results/card and then you will receive the pink wristband that shows you have been cleared for the travel "exception." We flew Hawaiian and the check-in for the wristband was at the customer service counter - it was a decent sized line. Even if you check in online, you still need to get your wristband.
You won't need vax cards or test results to eat on Kauai, just masks. And lots of cash. They keep you hungry over there by serving small portions.
Have fun
There is a lot to explore all over Kauai, from one side the wettest place on earth to the other dry Grand Canyon like.. You’ll need a car
Not sure if things have changed in the last 6 months, but you'll need to be proficient with QR codes and cell phones, and that's not for menus, it's for getting through the airport, rental car, hotel check-in, etcetera.
Check the airline you’re flying on, I just got a notification that Hawaiian is delaying flights until Wednesday the eighth. Rain is a bitch
agreed,they bitch about the tourists but without us they aint got jack shit. fuck your mahalo
Could be they don’t want a lot.
Almost sounds like a tweaker desert town I know of............. called Havasu
The volume of tourists going there is unreal now, and is having a negative impact. IG "influencers and such really fucked a lot of local spots by posting and doing things they shouldn't. One of my uncles lives right by the start of haiku stairs aka stairway to heaven. I'd sell if I was him just over the BS they deal with on tourists parking/pissing etc. Tourism is 20% of the economy...Its far from the only industry. Military, Healthcare, Real Estate, and manufacturing are the biggest industries in HI outside of tourism. If bases closed then there would be a shitshow economic wise.
not on kauai.have family by marrage there.that island dont have shit but tourism. unless you count red dirt shirts and shaved ice as a industry
You must have been with some real party people!
Funny, this is from my coworker in Hawaii today.
My in-laws were in Vegas for a raiders game, they got delayed on going home. The pics my cousins/friends have posted on IG are crazy. There is a ton of damage. he's right on the trash though...the beaches/ocean are going to be NASTY for a while.
Yes. Make sure you get permission to surf Haole... And if you do get to paddle out, don't shred so bad you break your stick! Oh.. and slippahs are a must.
As long as they go home we do.
