In quarantine Marriott Maui

[Dean]

I really hope that this doesn’t happen.

I bet it happens some but not a ton. Still the admonition to be prepared just in case is a good one.

Got a call from COVID-19 hotline. They confirmed that officer Marfil information I was told yesterday was incorrect. 14 day quarantine means day 15 you are free, with day 1 being day of arrival. Just a 1 day set back, so will be free this Saturday and not Friday.

Good thing that got cleared up. I'd hate you have you go out when you thought you were "free" just to be picked up for violating quarantine.

Direct flights from Maui to Oregon are now “full” , so Alaska airlines is no longer selling seats and are Planning to cancel flights, so getting home may need to be re-done. I’m not surprised since my backup, just in case flight for early July was cancelled Today. We have friends coming to Oregon in July so we may cut our trip short (just 5 or 6 weeks instead of 7).

Glad you found this out also. This is the way I understood it. Not a big deal, you got this.

Absolutely correct, except for medical reason only. Haven’t stepped a single foot outside our room. 8 down, 6 to go.

Maybe schedule a doctor's visit or a teeth cleaning... just to get out of the room for an hour.

I imagine it means a medical emergency. I think they are very serious about the quarantine on Maui. And would it be worth it just for an hour out?

Consider looking for your a sense of humor, it seems to be misplaced.

I misread what you considered to be humorous. A simple "that was meant to be funny" would have sufficed. No need to get personal.

I just love this thread! I tried to convince my husband to do this but he thought I was crazy. We were supposed to fly to Big Island yesterday. So now I'm dreaming of next year!

Those of you that spend long periods in hawaii, what do you do about a car? We spent 4 weeks there in 2018 and I paid about $1800 in rental car fees, which is almost as much as the timeshare fees. I would like to spend the summer there, but trying to figure out how to do it cheaper.

Let's all remember to look at those emojis after the post. When you miss them you can sometimes miss the humor and/or sarcasm!

I can only tell you what we do. We concentrate those things we need or want a car for into a couple of days and only rent from the morning of the first to the evening of the second (or third).

We usually come off season, so generally pay less than $300/week. Currently, an out of quarantine car rental is about $185/week. But times 4 adds up. Debating on Uber/Lyft, but will check that out over this weekend before deciding on a car rental. Round trip estimates: Under $20 to Safeway, $13 to Roy’s, $33 to gazebo restaurant, $23 to Hilo hatties, $39 plantation house, $105 Costco, $53 airport - one way. Cost estimates based on 15% discount from Lyft (chase reserve benefit)

Just arrived, and started Our quarantine here at Marriott Maui. Flew direct into Maui via LAX. Completed paperwork at airport then free to go to our resort. Hired a driver who drove us. Friendly check-in person, however, he couldn’t tell us how full the resort was. However, only guests in Napili Tower. Our personal shopper delivered our grocery order from Costco and Safeway. So we are quarantined the next 14 days and must start check-in online starting tomorrow. View from our room.View attachment 21784

6 more days!!! Assuming you’ve stuck to the quarantine which I hope so, I hear HI is extremely strict with it. Florida not so much at all.

Absolutely following the strict quarantine rules. DW and I each take turns every day answering the 4 questions on the online app. If everyone followed the 14 day quarantine then Hawaii should be COVID-19 free at some point.

Excellent! Almost there!! You’re in the home stretch!

Unfortunately viruses don't usually work that way. Being in quarantine is just to give sufficeint time to find out if you are (came over) infected and prevent spread if you are, not to prevent infection in you. In other words, it's not to protect you, its to protect others FROM you under the assumption you may have brought the virus with you. The only way to make Hawaii COVID-free would be to have a pre-arrival test that had no false negatives. But that's pretty much medically impossible unless you quarantine for 14 days BEFORE the test and then get right on the plane.

In fact, that raises an interesting hypothetical. Probably not possible due to verification issues, etc., but imagine if Hawaii put in place a rule that said you can come to Hawaii with no quarantine if you quarantine for 14 days before you get on the plane. Quarantine at home. If everyone on the plane was flying on day 15, there'd be no need to quarantine on arrival.

What a difference 30 minutes makes

 

[luv_maui]

Seriously? No hot water, impacting entire building. Unclear how long until it is resolved, but it’s Sunday night so they can’t look for the part until at least tomorrow!

temporary(?) fix so some hot water for now.

Day 4: continue to get my 10:01am email everyday to report in, answering 4 questions. How many ways can I take the same picture?

Such a great thread-and Luv-Maui, you are a person after my own heart with your interest in timeshares and points and miles. Can you use your Sapphire reserve DoorDash credit there? Also, are you retired or working remotely?

 

[rickandcindy23]

I hope they get the hot water fixed. Maui is pretty hot and humid at this time of year, so I can imagine showers are a necessity.

Official day 10 (day 15 I am free), morning sunrise.

Already used our 2020 DoorDash credit. DoorDash doesn’t have much of a presence here in Maui (many are closed so essentially subway and Panda Express). The recommended delivery service with more choices, at least during this pandemic, is 808 pickup (at least a handful of choices Restaurent-wise), and includes delivery options from Starbucks, Costco, Whole Foods, Safeway, Target, Home Depot, Walmart). Of course a coffee at $8 + $8 delivery + tip makes a single coffee cost prohibitive. Haven’t used their service yet, since we had groceries delivered, so only had round table pizza delivered once.
