we have just received our negative covid
test results
so i guess we're going to hawaii
good morning happy travelers we're back
at the airport today
because we're going to hawaii hawaii
that's my hula sorry we are about to go
um
see if we can get on this plane and
we're going to phoenix first and then
to kona traveling to hawaii right now
it's pretty complicated
with copa test results quarantines and
all sorts of stuff but we'll get into
that a little later in the video yes by
the time we get there we'll have been
tested three times in four days
let's go get on that plane
[Music]
got our boarding passes so we're headed
to phoenix at least
[Music]
okay
okay we've made it to phoenix we're
about to head over to our gate for kona
and we've already been checked out for a
seat so that's good
so we have a few minutes sitting here
waiting for our flight before we head to
kona and we thought we'd explain a
little bit about the travel requirements
going to hawaii right now over the
summer
in hawaii if you went there you had to
quarantine for two weeks and they were
super super strict about it but
starting in october i believe they
developed a program where if you got a
negative covid test within 72 hours of
departing
you could be exempt from that quarantine
you have to get it from an approved
lab it's a list of certain labs that you
can get it from it can't be
from any lab we learned that the hard
way yeah we ended up
getting one from the wrong lab and we
had to hustle
to get one in time so we've had two
tests in the last three days
both negative and it's a little bit
different for each island but we're
going to the big island
and it's the same with the 72 hours but
they are also
rapid testing on arrival so once we get
there we will get rapid tested for free
at the airport
once we get that negative result we are
free to explore
[Music]
[Applause]
we made it now we have to go through and
present our qr code
from the forms and things that we filled
out before we got on our flight
it's where we uploaded our negative
covid test
[Music]
we made it through the first section and
then they gave us these little placards
here to get our second test
which we're gonna go get right now
it's like 5 million degrees and i'm here
for it
my turn
thank you
that wasn't so bad that was
gentler than some of the other people
that have done it guy just came out to
us gave us a
email address and said that we are free
to go get our rental car
and get our checked bags but we need to
stay
in the area for the next 30 minutes or
so in case
they need to call us back he said that
the only reason that they would
call us is that we're positive or they
need to re-swab us so if we don't hear
from them in about 30 minutes
we're good to go we have got our checked
bags and now we're just waiting on the
rental car shuttle
[Music]
we just picked up our rental car we were
literally the only two people on
the shuttle and the only two people at
the counter
so it went super fast faster than any
rental car i've ever
gotten before i think it did have a lot
of new regulations regarding kovid
part of that safe hawaii travels you
have to upload all of your negative
test results too they needed to see that
as well there
so they're being very very serious about
your coveted tests
and making sure you follow all the rules
all the way through a few
tips that we have learned so far is have
your id ready
for ever don't ever put it away until
you're literally in your hotel room
because you'll need it like 50 times
have your logins for your test results
and your safe hawaii thing all set up
and ready to go have your qr code
we didn't print ours out but we had
screenshots and we had it downloaded and
we had it ready to go
they wanted to see the qr code and they
wanted to see the actual test results
which i wasn't
anticipating them wanting to see both of
them and then here at the
rental car agency they actually wanted
us to log in
and they wanted to look at it themselves
have all your logins ready to go and if
you're not
real fast with electronics just print
out the qr code and the test results
it'll be easier for you
instead of trying to fool around with
trying to log into all this stuff so
it's been very very thorough so far but
actually i really appreciate that
because
we've been tested so many times that we
definitely do not have kovid and we feel
perfectly fine about exploring this
beautiful beautiful place they told us
that we should wait about 30 or 40
minutes
and if we didn't hear anything from them
then we were good to go
so it's been about 40 minutes so far and
we're gonna head to our hotel
my ties here we come
[Music]
this little resort is so big it needs a
tram to get around
so we're just about ready to check into
our room and it's
all the way down here at the end and
it's got
double doors double doors
what what does that mean i've never had
a room that had double doors before
let's go i gotta break the seal the
hilton clean stay
seal
did we get look at upgraded place
did you know about this no
this was not expected she goes it has a
balcony i was like oh cool
i think it's got more than one balcony
what is going on here third balcony
dude this is nice
okay so they met five balconies they're
five
there's five you didn't know about this
i did not know about this
i swear so we're gonna have to do a full
room tour of this place
we did reach out to the marketing
department and said that we
you know have a youtube channel they
agreed to do a limited
collaboration but we didn't think that
it was going to be like an
upgrade i had no i booked the
the cheapest room possible which yeah i
normally do
a few moments later so i really don't
know how we just spent like three hours
in this room we
didn't do anything just walking back and
forth like this place is so long
i'm working off all the food that i'm
going to eat
we have changed we're going to go check
out the sunset and then get some dinner
i know you guys are probably curious
about this room but we are going to do
a full tour in tomorrow's video so
you'll have to subscribe
so you don't miss that video because
it's going to be coming up after this
video
good explanation i know so let's go
uh explore this huge ash resort
okay so we finally made it out of the
room we're exploring the resort and man
hawaii has hands down some of the best
sunsets i've ever seen it's
already starting to be just insane
this is a freaking huge resort we're
hoofing it to the other side i swear
it's like a mile
came by and lit all the tiki torches and
that makes me happy
but as you can see the sun went down and
it was beautiful
and now i'm freaking starving so there's
actually only one restaurant
on the resort that's open and it's
italian and kevin
said no to italian so there's tons of
places to eat in this area it's called
waikoloa village yeah you can't have
italian when you're in hawaii especially
not in the first night
what are you thinking i'm thinking
pulled pork
and mai tai
[Music]
so we found a restaurant called a bay's
island grill
it's right across the street from the
marriott resort and i got some
fish and chips in a mai tai kevin got
fish tacos which is
pretty typical for him look at this baby
okay that's gonna be it for us tonight
we're getting a little loopy because
we're both so tired hopefully you guys
got a little bit of info from this
don't be afraid to come here there's
nobody here
yeah it's definitely dead i know that
they need people to come and
kind of get the tourism economy back up
so as long as you follow the
necessary steps it's really not that bad
they're strict but
it's still hawaii so i think it's worth
it thanks so much for watching everyone
