i was happy to see the Christmas trees on sale already. Christmas makes me happy!
i drove by Diamond Head and couldn’t believe how beautiful it was! and there were no foilers out so i had to jump in for a few. 
i just love the beach down there. super private and super beautiful. 
look how good the waves were! and it was empty today! Maki-san waiting for the perfect wave as a local guy already riding his. 
drove home and there were no clouds in the sky. yeah!
Waikiki is still a ghost town. but come October 15th, some hotels will open up for tourist again. here’s how to get your test and be able to enter Hawaii with no quarantine:
Pre-testing Program
We are still in the difficult stages of the evolvement of COVID-19 and our State and Local authorities have developed extreme precautionary protocol before arriving to our island;
- Under the program, travelers who test negative for COVID-19 no more than 72 hours before arrival will qualify for a quarantine exemption.
- Travelers of all ages are subject to this rule except children under 5 years of age.
- The state is contracting with Kaiser Permanente, Walgreens and CVS to offer the tests on the mainland. Tests will cost ~$140.
- Hawaiian Airlines will be offering drive-through testing to travelers from California, in addition to United Airlines. Tests will cost $90-150 for Hawaiian Airlines depending on how quickly travelers want results and $250 for United.
