Just remember not fully vaccinated until 2 weeks after 2nd dose!
Yes, but I’m still like 90% vaccinated, which works for me. :) Can’t hide forever!
I love this! My husband and I are taking our 4 kids in 3 weeks to Maui. So this is all super timely for me. We are also flying southwest through points! Yay! We fly out of SJC though. I’m very interested to hear all about the airport process for you. Anything that helps make the trip smoother! Have so much fun! Happy early birthday!
Thanks so much for the step by step info about COVID requirements for traveling to Maui. Love your packing list even though I am 72 yrs so not all applies! Lol
Aloha ?
Happy Birthday when I lived on Maui this was the best place for breakfast local spot http://www.mauihawaii.org/restaurants/gazebo.htm
Enjoy
This was very helpful! My daughter is getting married this summer, and will be honeymooning in Maui. I will definitely send her the link to this blog post☀️?
A must is going to The Gazebo at Napili Shores for breakfast. It’s only open until 2pm and plan on a 45-ish minute wait. The Macadamia Nut pancakes are to die for!!
Have a great time!!
We are going next week!! So excited!! Thank you for your testing experience- and I look forward to hearing about the airport experience for you. I’ll be watching for your Instagram stories! Please share – but also enjoy your vacation and don’t make it all work!!!
We love Kula Bistro in upcountry. 3 years ago we had a wonderful lunch there and then drove to the lavender farm and then the winery … it’s beautiful up there with scenic views looking down on the area you’re staying.
Have a PERFECT time away! This first trip post vaccine is the thing we have dreamed about for so long !!
Thank you so much for all of this, Emma! Our daughter’s wedding date was May 1, 2020. Due to Covid restrictions they had to cancel their Wedding Reception at a Westin Resort. Their Pastor came to their home for a beautiful At-Home Wedding with 8 guests. They’ve had International Honeymoon Plans cancelled twice. They are hoping to at last have a Honeymoon in Hawaii. Your research is invaluable. Thank you so very much. We will be looking for your update on your experiences. Wishing you and Zach a fabulous time! Happy Birthday in Hawaii! ??
Thank you for all of this helpful information Emma! We are going in June and cannot wait! I even ordered a few things from your packing list! If you can, make a reservation at Star Noodle in Lahaina. You will not be disappointed! Have a wonderful time and Happy Birthday ???
Happy birthday! Hawaii is a gorgeous place to celebrate being another year older…ha! We got back from Oahu last Wed. I don’t recall applying for anything different than you’ve already completed. Enjoy your trip!?
Thank you for all of this helpful information Emma! We are going in June and cannot wait! I even ordered a few things from your packing list! If you can, make a reservation at Star Noodle in Lahaina. You will not be disappointed! Have a wonderful time and Happy Birthday ???
Such great information to have.
Have a wonderful trip!
Going to Puerto Vallarta may 1. Will be fully vaccinated on 4-14. You need a negative test to return home so I was adamant I be fully vaccinated prior to going. Just saw a new article about a nurse who has been vaccinated since January where she tested positive and is stuck for 14 days. She did pay $30 for “covid” insurance so her room and food is covered. Was a bit hesitant after I read the article but then I thought 14 day in a room with room service – I’ll take my chance! ? have a blast in Maui!
Such great info! We are headed to Maui in May and this was great info. Happy Birthday and have a beautiful time in my favorite place. If you have time I highly recommend Merimans in Napili, opposite side of the island from where you’re staying but the view and setting are ?
Thank you so much for the information. My husband and I were in Maui two years ago and are wanting to go back and take our two daughters. The Monkeypod Kitchen in Kaanapali is the best! They have the best Mai Tais! One of our favorites on the trip! Hope y’all have an amazing time!
This is perfect. We are headed to Maui for the first time in September. I can’t wait to hear all your wonderful recommendations. Happy birthday in style?
Load the GyPSy app. It works thru your Bluetooth and acts as the BEST guide as you drive around Maui. It was SUPER amazing as we drove to Hana. We have a condo on Maui and have been there a million times, yet we still learned things about the island we never knew thru GyPSy! Have fun!
I’ve heard of that app actually, thanks for the tip for everyone out there! So many people love the road to Hana trek.
When we were at the Four Seasons in Maui years ago, there was a great little fish and chips place in Kihei called Alexander’s Fish and Chips. It’s a hole in the wall so you can take it back to your condo but it was good if you like fish! Have a great time!
Great tip, thanks Jill!
Great write up! I have the Hilton AME card. AME has sooo many cards. Can you tell me the exact one that you have with a $250.00 resort credit? What the annual fee is? Thank you. Happy Birthday Emma?
I’m actually planning on doing an entire blog post all about our travel cards! xx It’s the Hilton Aspire Amex Card
My brother, and sister in law, live in Kihei! I have a long running list in my phone of great recommendations if you need them!!! Aloha!!
Awww wish I saw this before! We LOVED Kihei.
Shannon would love list of recs for Kiheil
I love your information. All the outfits are so cute! I will be shopping for some of these for sure. I’ve been following your mom for a couple of years now and love her! I was reading your story and can relate so much. I finally found someone who was feeling the same way with the COVID thing. I to have lost 32 pounds on my Journey. Have fun and enjoy every moment. You truly inspire me.
That is amazing Robin! Congratulations. :)
Great Post Emma! and so helpful! We are going to Maui next week!
Truly appreciate this beautiful informative post!! xoxo
Have a great trip Delilah! xx
