god dammit -- now you are saying for people to stay away from the islands (not to come) thru October? I planned our 25th anv. there (our honeymoon was there) so i jumped thru all your hoops, got vaccinated (just to meet Hawaii requirements) and booked hotel/airline fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck |

thx we are still planning on going in October unless he changes it to even more stupid (like masks outdoors) he can get fucked if he does that. pisses me off as i finally convinced some friends to come with us "to paradise" for our 25th (theirs too) and shit WAS open |

Some of our hospitals are at or over capacity right now. New cases have been trending down the last couple of days so I think we are over the worst of it. Which island are you visiting? |

Which island are you visiting? just Oahu, since we stay at Hale Koa I know lots of folks dont like it because its so busy, but we never had any issue, and lots to do |

So how is the "papers please" game going in Hawaii now? Are restaurants checking for vaccine cards at the table? The Safe Travels website says a "photo of a vaccine card" is acceptable. Is anyone cross-checking a photo with an actual driver's license or other ID? Asking for a friend of course. |

My island doesn't have these restrictions but as I understand it... cards are checked before entry, not at the table. I doubt the cards are being cross checked to ID and I suspect that enforcement will vary greatly depending on what unfortunate idiot got stuck checking cards. |

This is what I am suspecting will occur also. |
