I'm still holding hope for September but as everyday goes by I become more and more sure it won't happen...
One question I have for everyone is about testing to return home to the UK - I dont see the gov removing this requirement anytime soon but how are people planning to go and risk not being able to get back? I'm trying to work out the logistics of a worst case scenario of what happens if you test positive before your flight home - would it literally just be a case of paying to extend your trip and find a hotel until you test negative? I think its this risk more than anything that will put a stop to my plans even if the US opens the borders! Would love to know everyone's plans for this aspect! (Aware I also need to check if travel insurance covers extended stay but pretty sure it won't!)
To be honest our concerns are more around the US actually letting us in as opposed to anything else. With the news fully vaccinated Brits can visit amber list countries without quarantine on return pretty much ensures that we will go in August/September assuming we are allowed in.
I have to be honest, I hadn't considered your point around what if we test positive whilst there, I guess having had both jabs we just plan on playing the percantages and taking that risk. Maybe not the most sensible move, but we believe that the positives outweigh the potential negative of testing positive whilst away.
I suppose that is easy for us to say though, we travel without kids so don't have the extra pressure of having to manage that situation. I think it will be a really last minute decision, this UK/US 'travel task force' isn't going to come to an agreement over night, and to be honest I don't think there will be any formal agreement announced prior to the 05 August UK government travel update, failing that, I think the following one is around the 28th August.
