My wife and I have reservations for early May at two different HGVC's in Waikoloa in early May. We're flush with points due to the pandemic, and we booked it as a place holder back when HGVC was not charging for reservations. So cancelling is totally cost-free. Haven't booked air yet, but debating between doing so, or cancelling altogether. We'll be fully vaccinated before then.
Issues - we don't really want to hassle with the Covid testing/quarantine restrictions. It could be a problem, if we get a false positive. Last I read, BI won't let you quarantine in a timeshare. So if we have a last-minute false positive, it will be costly (last-minute hotel) and extremely inconvenient. Not to mention that I booked 2 different HGVC's, each of which is for less than a week. Willing to put up with a minor hassle if there's no chance of getting quarantined.
Second issue - if most things are closed, we won't enjoy ourselves. Particularly restaurants, but also attractions, places that rent snorkel gear, etc.
So my questions to experienced Hawaii TUGgers. Do you think the BI will at least modify their Covid restrictions by then, to allow in those with a valid vaccination record?
Do you think things will be back to semi-normal, with good availability of restaurants, etc?
Sitting on the fence right now, and have to cancel by start of March (60 days advance) to preserve my HGVC points. Thanks for your help and opinions.
