Kudos for your post, Elaine.

Much as I hate to say it, and wanting to be in SXM as much as anyone can want, this directive, should it stand, may well be the straw that breaks my camel’s back.

I know how much we personally went through trying to get our tests and approval to visit after Thanksgiving and I know it put a bit of an over-all damper on the trip for us. And then we had a bit more stress in getting our negative tests upon our return. All worth doing, but more stress, nonetheless.

I just don’t know that I’m willing to jump through anymore hoops and much as I love the island. I don’t think I can believe it will be ready and able to handle multiple planes full of passengers all needing testing for the same flights.

I fully agree the safety of everyone needs to be the most important consideration but there does become a limit to what some of us are willing to deal with in the hopes of a good vacation. And I’m not even thinking about costs here - just more added requirements to honor.

The question becomes, “Is it really worth it?”
