If this was Florida . . . you are a rental-car or even AmTrak train-ride (or a TSA/CDC plane trip away) to get home . . .
Or you can enjoy your vacation at several hundred different beach resorts.
Good luck on changing one's flight and/or getting the airline to credit you for the return trip.
Hearing stories like this happening to generally healthy, careful, even vaccinated people makes DW and I seriously reconsider our Hawaii-B2B cruises in April-May. We are triple-vaxx'ed, very healthy, but a little older and I am fat.
Running the following gauntlet for a supposedly "relaxing" vacation that would cost us $xx,xxx does not seem to be a good idea:
1. We fly from EWR to YVR, internationally and try to "immigrate" into Canada . . . there's a test there.
2. Presuming we arrive on time, we take a hotel night in Vancouver, and then attempt to board the Wonder
3. We get tested before we disembark in Oahu, or even the other Hawaii'n islands prior (not sure what happens if we contract Covid on the cruise)
4. We dis-embark at Oahu . . and then get tested again . . . hoping we pass, because our ride back to our airport is 10 more days of cruising on the Wonder
5. We get tested before we disembark in Vancouver . . good luck getting out of Canada into the US if we pick up Covid.
6. One more time, we get tested before we try to board our flights into the US . . .
What could go wrong!?
Meanwhile over the past 2 years, I have taken 5 week-long trips via personal automobile and AmTrak/bus to Maine, Tennessee, Georgia and St Louis and have stayed healthy and just as importantly, not have to be quarantined inside a room for 10/5 days for symptoms that are basically flu-like.
