Hawaii is a beautiful mishmash of various cultures around the world. And it’s something you can readily see around you when you’re here. This mashup influences everything from the way we speak, our architecture, our customs, and, yes, even our food, which brings us to the Goteborg Musubi. It’s no secret that Hawaii is in […]

Honolulu Further Loosens Restrictions

Written by Island Miler @ Jeffsetter Travel

Yesterday, Mayor Rick Blangiardi held a press conference to announce that Honolulu further loosens restrictions. Sort of. This loosening of restrictions isn’t seeking to make significant changes. Instead, it’s adjustments to the existing set of rules. Earlier this month, Mayor Blangiardi made changes to Honolulu’s emergency orders. Those changes include: Outdoor seated events of up […]

Hawaiian Airlines to Resume Sydney Flights

Written by Island Miler @ Jeffsetter Travel

For the first time since the pandemic began, Hawaiian Airlines is to resume Sydney flights. However, like its current service to Japan and Korea, I don’t think Hawaiian’s returning Australian service will likely see low load factors. Back in March 2020, Hawaiian Airlines suspended all of its flights to Australia. Well, they suspended nearly all […]

During an unusual announcement on Tuesday, Governor Ige welcomes back visitors to the islands two months after telling people to stay away. Not only was the announcement itself unusual, but so was the fact that there was no substance to his announcement either. Let’s discuss. Amid Hawaii’s awful Delta variant-fueled surge, Governor David Ige pleaded […]

Oahu has been seeing a bit of a hotel boom in recent years. But, these hotels aren’t what you’d expect when you think about Hawaii, as they’re all limited-service city hotels. So, news that an Elements by Westin hotel is coming to Kapolei doesn’t surprise me one bit. Oahu’s second city of Kapolei isn’t exactly […]

When COVID-19 shut the state down, it had major impacts on our economy. One company that nearly bled out during that time is Honolulu-based Bikeshare non-profit Biki. Thankfully, they didn’t. In fact, Biki Bikeshare is making a comeback. Earlier this year, Biki Bikeshare was bleeding out. Ridership was down by 50%, as was their revenues. […]

Written by Island Miler @ Jeffsetter Travel

Earlier this year, the State of Hawaii stopped distributing shares of the transient accommodations tax to the counties as a way to plug its budgetary hole. That, however, left the counties with a large hole of their own. So, to plug that hole, Honolulu considers raising hotel tax by 3%. As you’ll recall, when the […]
