Kevin, Grace and Taylon are back again this week on the "Have Aloha Will Travel" podcast with an exciting update about HAWAIʻI Magazine and its return to print. 

That's right, the magazine you all know and love will be returning from its print hiatus in a new quarterly format—and the "Have Aloha Will Travel" crew talk all about it in this episode. With a new look, but very much the same soul and feel, HAWAI'I Magazine will be returning to your doorstep better than ever, and we can't wait for you to get our upcoming 2022 Readers' Choice Awards issue.

It's the first episode of the "Have Aloha Will Travel" podcast in 2022, so you know what that means.

Kevin, Grace and Taylon talk about some of their New Years' resolutions, from reading more books to getting out of their comfort zones and seeing everything the Islands have to offer. And for visitors coming to Hawaiʻi now, you'll definitely want to tune in to this episode of the podcast. Not only does the crew talk about some things you certainly need to have packed when visiting Hawaiʻi in the winter—yes, a jacket is handy to have—but they also discuss what you should bring to the Islands to combat COVID-19, with new cases being reported at an all-time high here in Hawaiʻi.
