● Be careful when using The Bus! ●
Aloha! The city of Honolulu recently added new rules regarding the types of masks required when boarding a city bus.
Rideable mask, double or triple cloth mask, disposable mask, double neck gaiter (neck warmer)
Masks that cannot be boarded ・ Masks with breathing valves or holes ・ Pull shirts to substitute for masks ・ Scarves ・ Bandanas ・ Face shields only
It's small and hard to see, but please check the photo below.
Personally, I think disposable masks are good, but I really hope that they will be "thrown away" and not reused for days.
Then everyone, have a wonderful day today ♬
● Vaccinated travelers may be exempt from Hawaiian quarantine ... ●
Aloha! As you may already know from yesterday's local news, Hawaii's Deputy Governor Green can travel to Hawaii without isolation if he is completely vaccinated with the new coronavirus vaccine (vaccine passport). We announced that we may be able to implement it from May at the earliest.
If the system works well, travelers to Hawaii are expecting (hoping) to triple by the fall.
Currently, it is said that we (healthy 16-64 years old) in Hawaii can be vaccinated probably in the summer. To be honest, there are still some fears and doubts about early vaccination, but it seems that it will be difficult to travel without vaccination.
● It seems that it will stay in Tier 2 until around 3/15 ... ●
Aloha! At our Honolulu office, we may be up to Tier 3 (*) than yesterday afternoon! !! I was expecting a lot, but I couldn't hear the news yesterday, and it was announced that I will stay in the current Tier 2 until around 3/15.
The road to Tier 3 is still a long way off, but I would like to continue to tighten my mind so that it does not go back.
* Honolulu County has a four-stage recovery framework based on the average number of people infected with the new coronavirus on Oahu and the positive rate over a seven-day period. Currently, Tier 2 (50 to 100 people a day) The number of infected people (2.5% to 5% positive rate).
Everyone Have a nice weekend!
● Waikiki beach replenishment work ●
ALOHA! Replenishment work for the sandy beach expansion of Waikiki Beach began last week.
This work has been done before, but it seems that this work is necessary every 5 to 10 years due to the influence of global warming.
Due to this construction, part of Waikiki Beach has already been closed and it will take 3-4 months to complete.
I am grateful that many tourists did the construction work at this time before returning to Hawaii.
I hope that the sandy beach area will increase safely the next time you come ♡
Have a beautiful day!
● Impressions of customers who traveled from the continental United States to Hawaii during the New Year holidays ●
Aloha! Happy Friday !!
In Hawaii's local news, I took a questionnaire to those who traveled to Hawaii during the pandemic, and I saw an article about 90% of them answered that it was "good" despite various regulations.
This questionnaire was conducted by the Hawaii Tourism Board. Most people who come to Hawaii from the continental United States say the pre-travel test program was smooth.
Approximately 40% of those who were not satisfied seem to have expressed their honest feelings that there were few tours available due to the influence of the pandemic.
Personally, I would like to go back to Japan, but the PCR test I take for Hawaii in Japan is too expensive. .. .. It seems that it will take more time for international travel to be smooth.
Have a nice weekend, everyone ♡

● Local customers enjoying a chartered tour ●
Aloha! Stay at home order was issued on March 23, last year due to the influence of the new coronavirus on Oahu. From this day onward, the everyday life that I have been spending as usual has changed dramatically, and I think that various restrictions have been added to my life in order to "live." The situation got a little better, but it got worse again when there were holidays ... I think many people are now expecting vaccination to overcome this situation.
Meanwhile, our VELTRA is often used by local customers, but the most popular one is the "Chartered Boat Sunset Cruise".
Under current regulations, boat tours can be conducted with a capacity of 25% of the normal capacity, so depending on the size of the boat, it may be available for large families.
Among them, the most popular one is the Moana Catamaran Boat, which is famous for its tall and handsome captain ♡
With 15% off for a limited time, a one and a half hour cruise is a whopping USD 816.35 ☆ (Currently, a Moana catamaran boat can accommodate up to 12 people)

I would appreciate it if you could check it on your next trip ♫
Then everyone, have a wonderful day today ♡
ALOHA and MAHALO
● Sports regulations (Oahu) ●
Aloha! Maybe this morning's Hawaii news will ease some restrictions on Oahu's sports? I was reporting that.
However, mitigation depends on the number of infected people after the Super Bowl (*) held this Sunday (2/7).
Under the current regulations on Oahu, you can play sports, but up to 5 people. Maybe we can resume the practice of the sports team if we can relax a little more? When I think about it, I feel that it is a stepping stone. It would be nice if each person understood the situation and refrained from acting. Let's do our best ♫

● KCC Farmers Market ●
Aloha! How was your weekend?
I went to the KCC Farmers Market last Saturday for the first time in a while. With a diamond back, the market used to open in the parking lot on the right, but now it seems to have changed to the "left" parking lot. (Personally, I feel that this is wider.) I was wondering if the number of shops has decreased, but there are many shops, and the number of people is moderate. was. However, in order to protect the social distance, popular shops were lined up.
Please come visit us next time in Hawaii ♡
♡ Movie: Finding Ohana ♡
-Finding'Ohana-
Alooooha !! Netflix's original movie "Finding Ohana" set in Hawaii will be released on Netflix from January 29th today! !!
The story is an adventure story experienced by brothers and sisters who visited relatives in Hawaii far from New York ♫ Moreover, the main character girl is a 13-year-old care pear from Kapolei ♡
It was shot in Hawaii, so I think there are many Kualoa Ranch and familiar scenery. If you can see American Netflix, please enjoy it with your family!
Have a beautiful weekend everyone!
● By the way, where is this beach? ●
ALOHA !! I have a question today ★
If you're a Hawaiian rubber, you might know where this is from the surrounding scenery.
The photo is last weekend, but the waves are big ＞ ＜ ；
My mother went to this beach with her sons' bodyboards, but I was worried that I couldn't even sit on the beach. .. ..
The correct answer is [Makapuu Beach].
This area is also famous as a power spot where extremely powerful energy flows. According to Hawaiian legend, the eight-eyed Tahitian goddess Makapuu dwells at this cape.
Have a nice day!

● About the Aloha Safe Alert App ●
Aloha! Happy ALOHA Friday ★
This week in Honolulu, the weather wasn't good, so I felt that the week was a little longer.
Have you heard of "Aloha Safe Alert" for Hawaii rubbers? This app was developed to suppress the infection of the new coronavirus, and it will receive an alert if there is a possibility of contact with the new coronavirus using the Bluetooth function.
And when visiting Maui from 1/19, downloading this app is now [required]! !! In other words, in order to visit Maui with a 10-day self-isolation exemption, you will need to download and set up the "Hawaii State Safe Travel Program Preliminary Test Negative Certificate" + "Aloha Safe Alert" app.
If you are planning a trip to Maui, please be careful.
Have a nice weekend! Stay safe ❤
