Just got a helpful email from our airline reminding us to register w/ Hawaii under safe travels program and directions on how to avoid screen at Hawaii airport. If there wasn’t all the other nonsense going on I’d be more excited but I keep waiting for a shoe to drop and force us to cancel… horrible stress.

Hawaii is again adding restrictions after desperate pleas from both state and local officials, who are intensifying calls for visitors to reconsider travel to Hawaii to combat the highly transmissible delta variant of the coronavirus.
While they are adding new caps and anti-coronavirus measures, they are still stopping short of a re-entering a full lockdown.
Although restrictions had been slowly lifting for the Aloha State, in August, Honolulu Mayor Rick Blangiardi restricted large groups and gatherings, urged state leaders to shut down beaches and parks and re-implemented a 50% cap for restaurants and bars.

Most recently, local leaders from Oahu announced on Aug. 30 that the island will be instituting a minimum 60-day COVID-19 vaccine or negative test mandate to eat at bars and restaurants, in addition to other indoor facilities, including Honolulu.
Although the state has not indicated its intention to add back pre-travel testing, vaccination or self-quarantine requirements for interisland travel, planning a vacation to Hawaii continues to be a challenge.
It’s a lot of information to keep track of — and it changes often. So, here’s the latest about traveling to the Aloha State right now and what you need to prepare for a successful trip.

If you don’t already, follow Joe Rohde on instagram, So many of his posts have to do with Aulani (ex: 6/22-6/30/2020; 5/20-6/1/2020, and most recently 8/25/21-8/29/2021). So many details have so much more meaning than you’d ever guess!

When we were in Hawaii in May, some restaurants asked for our QR codes showing a negative Covid test and all of them had us fill out a form for contract tracing. It wasn’t a big deal to us.
