I have to agree with this article when it comes
To the Big Island. Plus, I do have some availability in Dec, Jan, and Feb. perfect time for a sun break during a bleak winter. https://www.realsimple.com/work-life/travel/travel-planning/best-affordable-destinations-for-winter-travel

Your European Christmas-market dreams may be financially unfeasible, but these domestic winter destinations pack major fun on a budget.

Looks like it's going to be a busy summer in Hawaii. Now is the time to start planning if you are dreaming about a tropical vacation after a year of lock down.

At this point you will still need to get a covid test if you want to come to Kona without quarantine restrictions. The important thing is to get a test from a Hawaii Trusted Partner. I believe the airlines have registries that can give that information. An extra step, but totally worth it.

Sometimes you just need a place to sit and think. Or not think. Where could that be better than sitting on your lanai at the edge of Pacific?

Isn't it about time to check a few things off your bucket list? Kona is waiting for you.

Walking barefoot in the sand sounds pretty good right now. Or just sitting in the sand. Anything with sand, actually. Once you are fully vaccinated, you will soon be able to travel to Kona without testing or quarantine. What could be better than that?

The spa is one of my favorite places in the Kona Makai complex. Imagine relaxing in the spa after a day of body surfing or snorkeling and letting the hot water soothe your tired muscles while you watch the waves. It's a little bit of heaven at the edge of the Pacific.

If you have been missing the island breezes and quiet feeling of aloha, this is great news. If you are fully vaccinated, it looks like you can travel to Hawaii without quarantine as early as May 1. Our condo will be available again starting in April of this year. We shut down due to covid, but are looking forward to welcoming guests back to our home away from home.

Lt. Gov. Josh Green said he is hopeful the program will include mainland travel by May 1.
