The whole world is a crapshoot.

Odds are, if the island is open and you jump through the hoops, it will be a good visit.

The UK had a choice to open wide now with the Delta variant in hot summer or later in cooling/wet fall. Hopefully their experience will allow Delta to do its damage now and recede and that will be other countries experience as well.

But with the vaccines wearing off, i’m expecting thisto be another ?&@“! $”!ing winter season of lockdown/rules/masks and closures.

After just visiting, we will revisit SXM in 18 months which will be around New Years 2023. Having had trips 6,12,18 months apart before/after hurricanes/pandemics we appreciate it more at the 18 month mark and are spoiled at the 6 month point.

But we may stay months next time. Hopefully the crap will be gone.
