Lesley, I just don't think you can comprehend what we are all going through to get there.

My wife and I are still planning to go the first week of January. We have not been able to locate any facility near us that will test for travel purposes. As a result, and since we are retired and have a flexible schedule, we changed our plane reservations to go to Florida a week or so early. We will stay with a relative and have arranged for testing through a private lab on Monday with results promised for Wednesday. We will pay for those tests out of pocket. We will also need to pay for tests before leaving SXM in order to reenter NY.

On the brighter side, the number of new cases there is less than half what they are in our county. I will be happy to dodge the virus outdoors in the warmth there for 6 weeks than in the cold and snow here.

And Carol, maybe to celebrate my 25th trip to the island I will do my first trip report though I promise it will be boring!
