Ag test. -- Apparently they realized that 48 Hours was not enough time to get rt-PCR test results.

I just need insurance or encouragement that we won't be blind sided by a need for a test when we try to board or get to Phillipsburg. Can anyone pat my head and tell me it's all good? We so need this vacation. Even the hotel on the French side said we need no further testing to enter there. If I screw this up my 42 year marriage might be in jeopardy. Just kidding, but it would be horrible. Thanks.
