I look forward to the post quarantine pics... never been to Hawaii... now I want to go after this thread....!!! Enjoy and thank you for all the beautiful pics. A great place to unwind and ....quarantine!! ;-)

Just checked our reservations and now all of them have been changed to oceanfront. So.....I’m thinking they plan to not move us after week 3, but we’ll double check once out of quarantine. But it’s only week 4 & 5 that we’re changed, previously garden view and ocean view, respectively. Makes sense if there really is an NYL about 6 rooms being used. Only 1 couple at the pool last 2 days and only about 6pm-7pm. No one at pool last 3-4 days throughout the 8am-6pm day.

I would hasten a guess that this may very well be the cheapest 2 weeks you have ever spent in Hawaii.

So absolutely true. Only had 1 delivery - round table pizza for about $30 ($22 pizza, $3 delivery $4 tip + taxes). $20 for 1 Starbucks coffee ($8 coffee, $8 delivery $4 tip - rounded numbers) was just too much even though DW really wanted a Starbucks, but I didn’t give in. Simply delivered (twice - we underestimated on first order) groceries (Costco, Safeway, by our personal shopper (30% with $50 minimum fee)

but also most expensive Maui trip considering 7 weeks, previously longest was 2 weeks (once), with most usual time just 7 nights.

All days kinda blend together. No one at Napili pool during the day (8am-5pm) for 4-5 days in a row. Just 1 couple last couple nights between 6-8pm

Now that you are almost free, has it been worth it? Would you do it again given the chance?

Might be better to ask that after they are "free" for a few weeks.

Let’s see what the next few weeks are like. Beach walks, Listening to ocean waves up close, relaxing pool time, very uncrowded peacefulness, peaceful drives without traffic, vs very limited restaurants open, no (?) activities available whether on property or off, still having to fly home with concern about catching covid-19. Etc

Very much agreed. It really has been a long time. If not for the view, I’d have some serious thoughts if we would have made it. I’m sure we would have, but it would have been excruciatingly hard. And certainly would Not have done it had we’d been in a hotel room, not that it was an option since hotels are not available. without The full kitchen& in room washer dryer - absolutely would NOT have considered it.

what will Roy’s be like or Gazebo House or Teddy’s Burger? But the beach walks and ocean waves will be priceless.

Day 15, officially out of quarantine. It’s way too early in the morning, but completed my 14th daily check in; day 1 of 14 daily check-ins starts day after arrival. So today is officially day 15 or 14th daily check in, with plane arrival day as day 1 or day 0 of check-in days. SERIOUSLY? No congratulations, simply the usual “thank you for checking in. Have a nice day!” No comment about you have completed your 14 day quarantine and now free to go? I suppose in theory I could have answered yes to one of the 3 health questions, so maybe that’s why the daily check in app doesn’t say you are free to go because they haven’t coded it to check the history for all 14 days as no to all health questions for all 14 check ins. Anyways, I’m feeling healthy and no symptoms, but I was always cautious back home before flying here and stayed isolated mostly at home and religiously wore my mask outside of the house, and only went to grocery stores only as needed.

Anyways - 14 day quarantine COMPLETED!! Will go rent a car and see what it’s really like around here - with our masks and hand sanitizer of course! Oh yes, get room keys that are good hopefully for remainder of our stay although we may need to refresh them every week since we could in theory leave at the end of each week and cancel Unused reservations for a potentially very low value replacement week from interval International. Now that I’m not quarantined, I won’t be posting as much but will periodically post an update, and will answer any questions here on TUG.

Thank you everyone for bearing with me during this quarantined journey. Honestly, I wouldn’t have made this journey without your support, TRULY. I came so close to not coming with various obstacles and doubts, but with the support of this wonderful TUG community followed through.
Let’s see if the price (14 day quarantine) was worth it these next few weeks on a beautiful Maui island with much closed down due to covid-19.

Congratulations on finally achieving your freedom! It has been great to follow your posts for the past few weeks - it has actually been a nice distraction during our own stay-at-home routine. Now go out, relax, and enjoy Maui. Try to do your best to focus on the positives of what you can do In the weeks ahead and not let yourself get frustrated with what may not be open or what you are unable to do. I’m sure with a little creativity you are going to a wonderful few weeks ahead! Best wishes!

Is there any news when restaurants will open again? Here in Wa even King County is now moved into phase 2 so restaurants are open at 50% capacity, anything like that on the island?
Enjoy that first walk on the beach!

 

[JanT]

Whoo Hoo!!!! You made it! Congratulations!! Hope y'all enjoy the rest of your stay and thank you for sharing that beautiful view and your status updates every day! Have a fantastic time!!

Have a great rest of the trip. I suspect the effort will be worth it in the end.

You are now in the likely most Covid free state in the country and should be able so spend you weeks not worrying about getting or transmitting the virus.

Enjoy Maui without all of those pesky tourists. You've earned it.

 

[mauitraveler]
