What NOT to Forget to Pack for Hawaii (Essentials)

[@luonajgarroutte212]

Next time you go to Maui you can stay in the Kamaole One condos on Charley Young Beach and you won't have to walk to the beach because it's right out the back door. Great place to stay in Kihei.

In 2015 I moved from hub-city of Columbus Ohio to spoke-center Des Moines. Now I can’t go anywhere without a layover. Do you have any tips for layovers? Pee first or eat first? Try to squeeze your roller bag into the stall or trust you can leave it out? Where to find a wheelchair if you have a quick layover due to weather and your running days are long gone? Pack snacks or a sandwich or trust the crowds won’t be huge at the food court? Things like that and I’m sure there are more your brain will pop with. ❤️👍

My son is getting married next month, and they are going to Hawaii for their honeymoon. I sent this video to them.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Awesome! I'm sure they've looked, but the site is Travel Safe Hawaii with the test rules.

[@brian_b_tamayo80]

Hi Laurie! Awesome tips. I’m heading to Hawaii at the end of the month for a ten-day outing at three islands: Maui, Kauai & Oahu; staying with my relatives who live there. Another tip is packing mosquito spray, long pants, loose long sleeve sweater, socks & hiking shoes since Kauai has so many mosquitoes both night & day, especially when hiking. Since I live near San Francisco, a flight to Hawaii is about 5-6 hours 😍 (Another bonus tip, if you have relatives living in Hawaii, bring something cordial from the mainland before vacationing there. Items like fresh frozen seafood in an insulated cooling box is an example. Fresh fruits & vegetables are prohibited under Hawaii agricultural inspection)

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Love these tips! Wish we were going with you!

Hi Pat

[@timepi437]

Again, I love your focus on comfortable, supportive shoes and multifunctional sandals (water friendly yet still look smart - more companies could focus on this). Nice to acknowledge that you can go out to restaurant without wearing heels. I also take spare ziplock plastic bags. A spare pair of old glasses, especially if you wear multifocals - if you lose or break it's not easy to replace, or take your older pair on adventures/beach. I also take slides (Birkenstocks) for airport (security) and plane (slip off easily, slip on to move around cabin).

[@mem2094]

I love your videos Laurie and your packing tips helped me so much. This comment isn't meant to be negative but I just wanted to share this info. My sister lives in Hawaii and she told me that only tourists wear Hawaiian shirts and dresses so it is easy to spot tourists because they wear Hawaiian looking clothing. So if you want to blend in with people that live there, just wear your regular clothes and not Hawaiian looking things.

Thanks so much. July 9 for 3 weeks and 2 islands. BTW, our favorite snorkel vendor is Trilogy on Maui Wonderful people. We actually took warm clothes for Haleakala sunrise and then mailed them home in USPS fixed rate priority box. Great tip about coffee filters. Lots of uses, just like zip plastic bags. If you are in a condo or rental house, bring along pill box size containers of lemon pepper, simple spice mixes, etc. to avoid buying them. Have a couple of quick meals in mind. That lemon pepper is great on grilled fresh fish! Save a little on eating out. If you can fit it in your liquids bag, a small bottle of veg oil or EVOO, is also worth bringing along to avoid buying and abandoning a bottle.

I recommend packing only polyester (dri-fit) clothing including underwear. Much cooler and dries quicker.

[@glorygracek.1841]

Really? I have read in alot of places that you should wear 100% cotton for breathability. They say anything else will make you sweat and not allow your skin to breath enough.

[@Inko_Inko]

@@glorygracek.1841 Both are good materials for hot weather in terms of breathability and staying cool, though synthetics tend to retain more of that sweaty smell.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

I agree, and if it's humid, nothing helps lol.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Thanks; for undies I def use cotton.

[@kiaxtreme]

In Hawaii, as you are sightseeing, you can jump into the ocean, shower off at the beach, then continue with your sightseeing. Repeat the same throughout the day. Cottons will be damp and heavy.

[@pamelah2850]

I suggest bringing two bathing suits so you always have a dry one; two piece suits are better for some activities. I like thin dresses over my swimsuit for store to beach wear. The dresses I bring can also be worn to restaurants at night. Also bring SPF shirts (rash guards) and pants or shorts. The sun in Hawaii is no joke and you will burn even on a cloudy day. it can get cold at night trade winds) so plan on having a sweater or light jacket.

Super important tip: Make SURE that your Covid test site in your state is on the approved Hawaii list. My grown daughter is in Hawaii right now and was under quarantine for 72 hours because the place where she had her test done in Tennessee told her they were on the list, but they were not. She was not allowed to go to the condo her father had rented for them to stay (they were spreading the ashes of her step-mom per her wishes on the beach), but instead, he had to rent a 3-night stay at the Hilton for her to stay separately to the tune of almost $1,000. He had to bring her groceries (gluten-free) and she had a monitoring wristband placed on her. She has been released today after paying another fee to have another test done there (negative) and now has one day and a half in the condo on the beach before she returns home. Needless to say, it was devastating. PLEASE make sure you have a valid negative Covid test done at an approved site or vaccination proof before you set a toenail in Hawaii.

Yes, the site I mentioned is Travel Safe Hawaii and it tells you the testing rules. Poor girl. So maddening!

Don't forget a medium or wide brim hat. Not only to protect your face and eyes from the sun, but also (depending on the island) occasional rain showers. It's always warm there, so even if getting your body wet is no big deal, it is annoying to have your face and hair rained on.

Even traveling from Las Vegas - except for the giant who sat behind me and poked me when I tried to recline my seat. It was a red eye for heaven’s sake and I am not your mother who grew you to be so tall. But I obligingly sat upright the whole flight while he reclined - because you know he is a jerk. So any hints about the oldest controversy in flying - recline or not?

Is theft including pick pocketing bad in Hawaii?

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

I have not heard about it. You can google locations for high pickpocket areas.

[@deannad3566]

It is now actually illegal to use non reef safe sunscreen in Hawaii. You can be fined $500 if caught.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Oh wow! We saw tons of people not using it.

[@kaumingo]

Was that peas on that breakfast roll? Yuck!

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

No way; could not have been.

I believe it macadamia nuts

I don’t bother to read books or listen to music. I check tons of photos I took on my phone and also Google the place I visit.

I wear inexpensive footie nylons (no show) and throw them away after going through security.

Thx for sharing.

We are staying in a hotel in hawaii. Not looking forward to 8 hours with a mask! EVEN WHEN YOU'RE SLEEPING IN FIRST CLASS! Ridiculous! It also makes no sense that everyone gets tested before they fly then you still have to wear a mask.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

I hear ya! But at least we get to go again. And you'll forget it all when you land and feel those trade winds!

[@kimgab123]

I bought some of those no show socks you recommended. I like them!

[@KentKiner-dt5rp]

Don't forget a lot of money!

[@valorehaven]

Lol stopped watching after you made that face about the masks.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Yes, they're here to stay I think.
