We walked to the plane when we left a few weeks ago. They gave you a choice.

All booked for January. It seems flying is no greater risk than going to the grocery story - and if everyone on the flight has tested negative, probably less so. SXM seems to be doing as well, if not better than the US dealing with the virus, so with reasonable precautions, I'm feeling pretty comfortable. My only concern would be the rate of mask wearing on the island. Almost everyone here in MA masks up while in public, and I'm hoping it's the same in SXM.

Hi, Captain,
First of all, I feel like I know you and maybe your family, too? But probably not.
In any event, our immediate plans are all systems go for three weeks from Saturday to spend two weeks at our favorite island abode - assuming AA or COVID 19 don’t toss us anymore curve balls. But if they do, we’re booked for our usual April stay and booked for next November, too.
We didn’t give up on SXM after Luis or Irma or any of the smaller storms in between the two so we’re not about to now!
Respectfully,
pat

Jazzgal--did you cancel your trip for this year? If so, sorry, I missed you saying that.

Jazzgal--did you cancel your trip for this year? If so, sorry, I missed you saying that. I may not have announced it here, but yes. It was the right thing FOR ME at this time: PRC hassle, three legs on AA with an overnight in MIA, and then I am concerned about all the pictures on Facebook of folks not wearing masks. Granted, they are dining so I assume it's different when not in restaurants. But I just didn't feel comfortable traveling at this time. I do envy friends who aren't as nervous about traveling and who are going. I will have to live vicariously through their pictures. Thread break: I updated my next trip on Ticker Factory and copied the info to my profile. Wondering what's with the gigantic font size?

I understand. This year has just been really tough for everyone to know what to do.
Don't know on the tickerfactory question.

Hi, Captain,
First of all, I feel like I know you and maybe your family, too? But probably not.
It’s possible. Heck, on my honeymoon, an old classmate (from a class of 500) recognized me at a tiki hut in Tahiti while on layover from Australia, so anything is truly possible! We’re Long Islanders, where do you think we’ve met? Btw, I think it was Jazzgal, don’t let pics fool you. You wear your mask, carry your sanitizer and you will be golden. You can own your space , and still be safe. The mental effects of quarantine are greater than the fear of living. Just bought a portable UV filter on Amazon. Intend to bring it to dinner if we dine indoors.

I've been looking to book a trip with Sunwing in Canada as I have a credit with them from my last cancelled booking ( that's another story!).I have watched their first flight in go from Oct. 29 -Nov19-Dec17, now Feb 18. Looks like I may go to D.R. instead. Hamilton! I was there once for a wedding! Visited and signed the car up at Dodge!

As I mentioned in a previous post, we cancelled our Aug/Sept 2020, April 2020 and January 2021 trip. Holding out hope for our April, 2021 three plus week trip. Right now, I would give it a 50/50 as to whether we go or not. Not interested in coming down with Covid-19 in ANY foreign country. This is really hard for a world travel junkie. As to any particular reason that you listed, all of the above.
