i just want to be done with testing...we've had 6 over the past year, and luckily we were able to cancel our 7th scheduled for today, since we no longer need it for Friday's travel...hopefully the one required to return to the US from SXM will be our last IslandBoi- did I miss something why do you no longer need a covid test for travel to SXM this Friday?

tim--SXM requirements overall have been among the most strict in the Caribbean, OTHER THAN islands requiring quarantine, and places like Anguilla, who have prohibited visitors all together. And to assume that SXM would do something considered logical, is often a stretch...

Carol,
Anguilla reopens next Tuesday with a quarantine period. From July 01 only fully vaccinated people (three weeks after second dose of vaccine) can enter Anguilla and no quarantine.

If I understand it correctly, day trips will be possible, but only to those who are fully vaccinated. This is starting July 01, until then, no day trips.

Another update from Anguilla Government, as of July 01 you still need to apply to travel to Anguilla and have a negative test 3 to 5 days prior to arrival. So......seems like day trips are not happening.

Thank God for that!!! I'm glad you two are on your way to paradise!! It seems to me, that, for some unknown reason some of us get denied???? Happened to me!! With less than 48 hours at that point, making calls for a day. Getting NOWHERE!! Thank God, a friend of a friend, looked over the paperwork and "fixed" the problem. I pray that with a valid vaccine card proof in the near future this testing BS will all go away!! We are booked for Oct-Nov!! Don't want to wait three days to clam down when we arrive!!
Sand Gravity, got to love it!

Neil--We will be there and gone before July 1, but thanks for the info. Hopefully day trips can happen pretty soon.
