Vacationing with the Rona

[PROD49]

Wife and I are wanting to book a vacation somewhere in April however not sure where we should go with all this Covid crap. Would like it to be a destination outside the US if possible. Wine country in Cali will have to wait another year.

Would appreciate some ideas

We went to Jamaica over Thanksgiving and stayed at Sandals. They were offering such a good deal that now we are going to Sandals in Grenada over Spring Break. New rules though, you need to have a Covid test before entering the US. Sandals is doing it for their guest.

OP said April, I'd do south pole. Might be a bit warmer.

OP, my understanding is most resorts in Mexico are at like 10-20% capacity, and offer free covid tests before you depart. Also heard, if you test positive, they will comp you the room, and keep bringing food and drinks.

I'd support Mexico, but I am bias because they were very supportive of Trump.

What he said...most upscale results are offering free covid tests to facilitate travel and if you pop positive some of them will even comp you your quarantine time.

Not that big a deal. We went to Virgin Islands last July, had to have negative Covid test 5 days prior to departure. Got there and they never checked us. The flight had lay-over in Miami so that made the mask thing more manageable.
Total flight about 6 hrs. Had a great time, no cruises coming in so we saw very few tourists. The locals were all scared about tourists at that time, they didn't realize the testing requirement on our part. We were concerned about catching the virus there and being quarantined.
No idea what the restrictions are now but it wasn't difficult last summer.
Our hosts were very polite and accommodating.
Good luck.

There was a fellow on the radio this morning (talk radio show) stuck at a resort as he had tested positive. Said the place was covering the expense and even put his wife in a separate room for free until he tests negative.

anybody been to or know of an all inclusive in the USVI which would be OK to take kids?

as I understand, you gotta have negative test to go to the islands, but no test to get home from US territories. I am not too worried about flying (especially with everyone on the plane having a negative test), but don't want to get stuck outside the USA in event of a positive test.

Bermuda seems to be begging for tourists

Wife and I were discussing an all inclusive trip somewhere with the kids. As much as my 6 year old hates the doctor and dentist I'm not sure he'd be up for the corona test.

The Virgin Islands. Wont have to test to come home because its part of the US Territories.

Anyone know if this negative test thing applies to at all borders or is it just for airport type return trips??

I know if you plan to drive into Canada you must show a negative test taken within 72 hours. Not sure if it is need to come back.
