John,
I hope it continues to go well with no pitfalls between now and departure. We were traveling too close to a holiday and I think too soon after the newer requirements went in to effect. My DH was approved within an hour and it ended up taking me four attempts over three days with two phone calls to SXM with no rhyme or reason for the problems. Thank heavens I have a determined daughter because personally, I was ready to give up and cancel. In the end we had a wonderful trip and I wish the same for you as well. It was worth every minute of effort and the island and her people so need our support.
Respectfully,
pat

John--United is requiring a PCR test within 48 hours? That's obviously wrong. Keep us updated.

One suggestion if you are coming from a “cold” state, would be to try for a 72, not a 120 hour timeframe for your Covid test results. We have met a few people who had to cancel flights and retest because of weather delays. We only had a 6 hour cushion for flight delays, and we had to return to gate and get de-iced before taking off. It’s a vacation...why add the extra stress, or expense?

I was going to do close to the 120. I'll push that up now. Thanks for the tip.

WWII--Well, if I personally booked my test much closer to when I was due to leave, I'd be stressed that the test results wouldn't come back in time. Damned if you do, and damned if you don't.
