We have a vacation planned for Aulani in late July. I wish that a) the governor would offer more specific guidance instead of just saying he is extending the quarantine past June 30th, and b) that the policies of their major air carrier which transports tourists into the state, Hawaiian Airlines, would match the wants of the governor and the people of the state.
I feel for you. We are supposed to be at Aulani on June 26 and Hilton Hawaiian Village on July 1 and neither of them have cancelled. Aulani is a given at this point and HHV is pretty likely. But I agree. It's all about waiting on the governor to make a decision. He knows what he wants to do so he needs to just do it and put us out of our misery. You can't keep giving 15 days notice to hotels and travelers. Everyone needs time to get ready for whatever that decision is. And the airlines are in a waiting game, as well. Because if hotels do open then they don't want to cancel the flights. But if they don't, then they need to plan accordingly.
I am trying to make a tentative booking for August 1 but my son goes back to school on Aug 11 (maybe???) so I am running out of time. The only reason I want to take this trip is because I am happy sitting on my lanai staring at the ocean for 10 days. I am tired of staring at my street. But if I could find a reasonable alternative, I would cancel right now and go someplace else. Unfortunately, all of my trips are paid on vacation points so that limits my options. I am fine with the trip being cancelled (though I would be very disappointed) I just want someone to tell me so I can move on.
