I have been neglecting posts for a while.
My daughter and her family live on Oahu in Hawaii. The first time my husband and I went to visit was an all right vacation, but I am not a big fan of humidity.
The second time we went was during the Covid epidemic. We had been there just a day or two and my son-inl-law caught it, passed it on to my husband, then I caught it and then my daughter caught it. My 2 grandsons had been handed off to their other grandparents at the first sign of Covid so they missed it. We were staying at a fairly uncomfortable Air B&B and had to isolate. That was the worst vacation ever.
My daughter and son-in-law finally completed the addition to their house, so we have a place to stay. This last time we left for Hawaii on March 13th and arrived midday. That day my daughter's rain gauge recorded 14 inches of rain fall. We were there for 11 days and it rained every one of them except for the day we left. No going to the beach, no getting a tan, the humidity was through the roof, and the mosquitos feasted on me. My son-in-law's parents live in Hailewa on the North Shore of Hawaii. They had to evacuate. Fortunately, their house didn't get flooded out, but the water did come up to their floorboards. Second worst vacation ever (though spending time with family was nice). The only good thing I have to show for the trip is my pictures (taken while driving through the rain) of the temporary waterfalls that you see coming out of the tunnel from Honolulu to Kailua. There were dozens of them. I understand they are a rare sight.
