This isn’t good for US travelers

[deanna]

Very bad news for Jamaica. I will wait and see how this plays out for my February trip but if testing is difficult and expensive to get back to the states, that will mean many cancellations, including mine. I am coming down with my kids shortly and will be coming back right before it kicks in in January. I will not spend the last 3-4 days of my February trip trying to hunt down a place to find a test facility and expensive test ect..way too much stress on my last few days of vacation.

Oh geeze... I was thinking the same thing... The hassle of trying to find a place to test and probably standing in long line to get a test... it’s stressful enough here in NY trying to get a test��
I’m planning on visiting in April but now I’m going to wait to see how this plays out����

Guess it is a good thing we canceled our annual 10 day trip.
we were to have left this Saturday the 16th and returned on the 26th. We would not have been able to return since effective January 26th.
There will be other trips in the future

I agree, sad news for JA. Group of 20+ are all talking about canceling our trip in April again.

There is more news coming including the fast tracking of the Jamaica Cares Travel Insurance by February 1st. Give it a few more days to find out what is really happening. April is a long ways off...

Keeping our fingers crossed that the re-test to get home goes away. We are sitting tight for a bit to see how this places out.

Sunfun and I are flying out Jan 27. The forecast for northern Wisc is a high of 15 and a low of 6 degrees. It’s a no brainer for us. We’ll deal with what ever happens and call it another Negril experience. Soon come !!!

This is essentially the US saying they strongly discourage international travel, but if you do decide to travel we are going to present some obstacles for you before you can re-enter the country. If this policy extends into our trip timeline, we will cancel. That is too much to deal with for a trip that is supposed to be relaxing.

We are staying ????? at Idle Awhile and I called there and asked about the procedure for getting the Test to return to to the States..... I was told we have to go to Omega Medical and get the test there at $300 U.S. per person....... Gonna have to think twice about going .....
