In quarantine Marriott Maui

[slip]

@luv_maui and @slip You guys are driving us nuts with those awesome pics. But keep 'em coming!

I won’t take over @luv_maui ‘s thread. I still have to go to work everyday but I post a new thread every once in a while. I get to go to Molokai in 17 days so I will start a thread for that.

You probably are starting to feel like Robinson Crusoe. Your pictures make it appear you have your own private island.

So now I’m wondering if I should retrade and come over to MKO for 2-3 weeks in July if the pool is opening there? MM1 I don’t think is opening anything.

called front desk and security person thinks some re-opening of pool coming soon, so might be better than I thought after quarantine is over. Now do we try change of pace at MKO for part of the time? Decisions. Decisions

After a long time of not being on TUG, I find myself coming over just to check on your thread! I was planning the same thing you are doing but I couldn't get anyone to do it with me.
Are you also working? I would imagine it would make the days go by faster.

 

[luv_maui]

When will this look different, tomorrow? What will the rules be at the pool?

Enjoying the beautiful view and oddly, browsing and reading TUG makes the days go by faster. Even a periodic Netflix. So I’m a nerd. I love reading about timeshares, frequent flyer miles, and points.

Have the authorities mentioned whether you get something to prove you are past quarantine? An arm band, a taxi medallion, scarlett ("AQ") letters? Or will you continually be stopped to show your papers (boarding pass)?

If he starts shouting "Wilson!" we should be concerned...

I haven’t asked yet, but it’s over a week from now, so we‘ll figure it out end of next week

 

[luv_maui]

Woohoo! Pool by napili tower will open tomorrow. Roy’s is opening for dining in, but just weekends: fri/sat/sun. So made dinner reservations for Father’s Day, either 1st or 2nd day after quarantine. I’ll find out if day 14 you’re allowed out or not.

today’s view (day 6) from lanai 1

Making plans makes the time go by too.

 

[echino]

Keep your boarding pass to show when you arrived. I was stopped by police and I had to show papers with my arrival date proving I was not breaking the quarantine. There were police checkpoints on the roads, police raids on beaches and "friendly" locals happily reporting "suspicious" tourists.

@luv_maui, I'm loving your posts and pictures. I really admire you for doing this trip and what fun you will have once the 14 days are up

Sorry didnt see this post till now. We were travelling for about 17 hours to get from hawaii to orlando. 23 hours with the time change. Dang covid19 as the flight usually takes us 12 hours of travelling.

Much more to do on Oahu shopping and food wise. Resort is still partially shut down until Monday. Found out pools and barbecues are opening up June 15. Fitness center opens on June 19th.

Maybe we can meet up at MK? We get out of quarantine on July 22.

We have been at Ko Olina since March 24th

I'm so envious of you! You must have the run of the place!

Luv_maui, I'm so glad you made it! Hopefully they will lift the quarantine early, and you won't have to be there for 14 days! Please post pics and updates, so we can live thru you vicariously!

How nice to be in Hawaii and enjoy it without crowds of people!

I hope you continue to enjoy your trip, Luv_Maui, but at the risk of sounding snarky, I'd like to ask a blunt question from my perspective (which must be different than most who are posting here): Is it really better to spend 14 days stuck in a (very nice) home with a magnificent view (in one direction) as opposed to be able to be out and about in the open air and space at your primary home?

To each his own and I truly appreciate hearing your perspective. It is helping me learn and evaluate options. But I am at home gardening, going for wonderful walks, laughing with and talking (from a safe distance) to neighbors...just no view as fantastic as what you see when you look out your window. I would not choose to go where I knew I had a 14-day in-home, quarantine, no matter how pretty it was when I look out my window. I get a lot of pretty views on my big screen TV.

So, above is sort of explaining my question...are you feeling your view is worth what you have given up back home? Either way, I hope you enjoy your time, especially the five weeks beyond quarantine!

The 5 weeks in paradise after leaving quarantine, is going to be well worth not being in the middle of the country in a garden the first two, I would guess. I'd do it in a heartbeat if I had the time off.

And barely a need to worry about COVID during that time as well.

I think it's a good question as for some, don't think it would be worth it. After having thought about it a lot, I think it would be hard for me after week 4-5. As long as we own our home, I would be worried about things back home by then. I've already had this experience last year on a long trip. I am sure there are solutions, housesitter, landscapers, etc, and then key mail I may miss (perhaps a water shutoff notice who knows). Probably possible to handle it all, but, would be hard for me to get to 8 weeks. We would have 10# of medicine just for my DW too.

So, for me, is say 5 weeks worth it? Possibly. 2 in quarantine, 3 out. But if you are one who can handle 8 weeks + out, I see the 2 weeks quarantine as a minor price to pay and think it is worth it.

It’s only day 7 of 14, but I look at it from the perspective as the price to pay (14 day quarantine) to be able to walk along the beaches in Maui for up to 5 additional weeks. Is the view for 14 days better than freedom back home in Oregon? View is fantastic but I don’t think I’d do this if I was only here 14 days.

We have the advantage of our college son at home so everything is covered back home. But we’ve got multiple flights scheduled back home should we wish to go back after weeks 4, 5, 6 & 7. With inter island lifting, there should be more activity, as some restaurants on Maui starting to open up and even one pool (Napili) opens here supposedly today. Roys opens on weekends for dine-in, etc

Thanks. We snoozed and the MKO July weeks are now gone. And, DW doesn’t want to move anyways. We will just go home back to Oregon whenever we feel we’ve spent enough time here on Maui. Have never spent more than 2 weeks in a row and now the first 2 are in quarantine. Do you know if we are free day 14 or day 15 of quarantine? Day of arrival is considered day 0, so today is day 7 quarantine-wise, but our 8th day here.

 

[luv_maui]

They removed the orange cones - so Napili pool is about to open! We can observe for the next week while still under quarantine.
