We were (are) required to submit another covid test to transit through the STT airport. This is not covered by the $175 BVI fee, but requires a separate $70 fee, a trip to Peebles hospital, and it remains to be seen how we will get the results and upload them to the USVI portal since they are apparently not set up to email results.

I'm a little irritated at this one, because making us dock at RT, taxi to Pebbles and mingle with the other unfortunates there when we have just undergone a battery of 3 tests to clear quarantine accomplishes nothing but inconvenience and increased risk of infection for all involved.
