If the French border is closed again, that would be a disaster, yes..

If the French border is closed again, that would be a disaster, yes.. I agree, and am concerned that this could happen.
I'm going where the weather suits my clothes.

As of right now, it is being reported that it is almost a guarantee that the USA will continue to be on the travel ban list for the July 1st EU open. This is based on the spikes and new infection rate and the fact that the US still has the EU generally banned from entering. The list will be updated every 14 days with additions and subtractions to the list based on what is happening with the virus. China, Canada and Australia are supposedly being allowed entrance and taken off the ban list - but that can always change. We will see once the list is presented, who made the cut and if the territories will be included. There is a possibility that if the French Side closes to the US- especially if the US virus cases continue to spike, the entire island will be closed to the US until further notice. At this point, I don't think anyone really knows what is going to happen in the short term or long term including the EU themselves. Time will tell!

It's really a "duh" moment when the states that had a significant number of cases like MA, NY and RI (number and percentage of positive) implemented restrictions AND stuck to them. They are now slowly winding them down and monitoring cases. and numbers are in the low hundreds....States like FL, TX and AZ just said everything is fine and went back to normal (essentially) and now, today, FL reported +9585 cases....and in has increased by thousands daily....
Kinda says something to me anyway....maybe the restrictions for travel should be geared to state residency rather than screwing the entire country...
My opinion....

We have a road trip planned to New England in September...right now several New England states are requiring a 2 week quarantine for out of state visitors. Every day...out trip grows more bleak.....within our OWN country. I don't blame other countries for banning us. We have not handled this well and quite frankly....we would not allow others into America if they posed the threat that we pose.
I sent you a PM

Just to get away and make up for our lost trip to Bruges, Belgium in July I was going to do an II exchange for a nice 3 BR cabin in Maine....5 hour drive...not a biggie. But then I found out that unless I was from Vermont or NH I would need a negative COVID test within 3 days of arrival or be subject to a mandatory 14 day quarantine ....very similar to SXM
Edit: oops...should have read the interstate quarantine post and posted there.....sorry

A definite travel issue for Americans . USA residents are also banned from crossing into Canada Via vehicles ...Usa will become an island shortly ... A big country with no where to go. While tourisim visits to Canada are banned, Americans can drive across the Canadian border is they are transiting to Alaska. They are told to use drive thrus for food and pay at pump for gas and limit contact. Any stays at hotels require 14 day quarantine.
