During a press conference on Tuesday, Governor David Ige made a surprise announcement – Hawaii is ending many statewide restrictions. From now on, county mayors will have the authority to set most of their own pandemic rules. Some things, however, aren’t changing. I didn’t expect Governor David Ige to make any significant changes to his […]

The largest hotel in Hawaii may be getting bigger as the Hilton Hawaiian Village plans to add another tower to its sprawling campus. Unlike recent additions, however, the new tower will house hotel rooms rather than additional timeshare units. At 3,948 rooms, the Hilton Hawaiian Village is the largest hotel in the State of Hawaii.

Yup. That’s right. Hawaii Safe Travels is staying until Spring 2022, at minimum. Of course, this means that vaccine requirements or pre-travel testing will remain in place for anyone entering Hawaii that wants to avoid our 10-day mandatory quarantine. And, yes, the requirement continues to apply to both visitors and residents alike. Today, Hawaii is […]

After remaining relatively consistent through most of 2021, the Hawaii entry requirements changed on November 8. Why? Because that’s the day the federal international travel band came to an end, introducing new rules and requirements. This made things a bit more complicated, so let’s discuss. When travel restrictions from abroad to the US ended, the […]

This year, for Mrs. Island Miler’s birthday, I decided to book us dinner at one of Honolulu’s newest and quirkiest restaurants – HeiHo House. They bill themselves as a gastropub, which is still fairly unique for Hawaii and is one of our favorite types of concepts. Gladly, they didn’t disappoint! Though we’re actually going to […]

Recently, we had dinner with Mrs. Island Miler’s family at 1938 Indochine Honolulu. The restaurant serves up Thai-influenced cuisine and is one of the newest Aoki Group concepts in Hawaii. The Aoki Group launched in Hawaii years ago with Blue Tree Cafe and Doraku Sushi. Today, they’re present in a handful of cities and have […]

Additionally, Ige covered changes to both the Hawaii Safe Travels program and COVID-19 emergency orders too. But don’t get your hopes up; Hawaii Safe Travels is here to stay for the time being.

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 […]

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 […]

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. […]
