Used to go to St Martin at least three times per year and Anguilla a couple of times. Anguilla wants $1500.00 a couple plus tests and quarantines and we know what St. Martin wants. Having spoken to Doctors who are on the frontline(some elderly or low immune systems showing positive results when they clearly are fine) and specialists in the vaccine field(not going to happen this year) we are not unfortunately going anywhere for quite a while. Was booked also to the UK next month and now cancelled as cases and death rates increasing rapidly plus many parts on lockdown and still would need to quarantine for 14 days with heavy fines given if caught. Was hoping this quarantine business would have been gone by November but doesn't appear to be so. Just had a friend though that went through Heathrow and had a 15 minute rapid test that is being accepted.

Just not worth it. If a rapid test(only at the airport one departs from) would be encouraged and approved will look again. Like many here it has wrecked our plans and not getting any younger so time is running out but certain parts of Florida, beaches just as nice, but miss the people on both sides of the Island(SXM), the restaurants and what we have become familiar with. Onwards........
