Hi All
So many emotions going on for me while reading through this Forum!
- our province is in the third wave (worse one ever after a very tame Covid numbers throughout wave 1 and 2)
- haven’t travelled anywhere (ie outside our province) since March 2020, and currently we are in lockdown within regions within our province due to Covid numbers)
- any travel outside our province requires a 2 week quarantine when you return home - this has been in place since March 2020
- hopeful as vaccine rollout is ramping here, with everyone eligible to get first shot by end of June
So we bit the bullet, probably despite our better judgement, and booked a (rebookable) flight to Oahu, for February 2022. $700 CDN (which is cheap from the east coast of Canada!). We aren’t really telling anyone at home because people will think we’re nuts and we can’t deal with that. It is our first glimmer of possibility and positivity in so long!
We will book a week at Aulani with DVC points, then one week in Waikiki Beach. This will be our 4th trip to Hawaii, first time doing one island and staying put so long in 2 spots - but thought it might be better to be conservative for the first day out.
Feb 2022 is 8 months away, and we are hopeful that we will be able to get into Hawaii with our vax evidence - vs negative Covid test as they don’t have these centres where we live, although I understand they can be fedexed back and forth. I also hope we will be able to return to Canada post-trip without having to isolate.
Looking for (realistic) positive projections that this trip might happen...without too much pain . Know it won’t be the same but anything would be a blessing right now!!
