Holiday mid March?

What does anyone think are the chances of this going ahead? It’s to a Caribbean island that has had very few cases and was still on the list of places you didn’t have to quarantine from on the way back from until the rules changed again a couple of days ago.

It was originally booked for end of March last year and I moved it to now. It was supposed to be a big holiday for my mum - she used to live on this island in her 20’s and has always wanted to go back. She was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s last year having being increasingly forgetful for a couple of years. It’s got worse pretty quickly though and I think if I were to delay it anymore it just wouldn’t be enjoyable for her.

I need to decide fairly quickly whether to cancel it altogether if I want to get a full refund. I don’t want to delay it further but also would really like to be able to take her if possible.

What does everyone think are the chances of this going ahead? She’s had her first dose of the vaccination so should have had the second by then unless they mess it all up again. I won’t have had my vaccine by then based on the current calculator. I’m just hoping that possibly, maybe it might have calmed down by then.

Sorry but this has very low chance of going ahead for March.

It will probably go ahead but you may need to quarantine either there or here or get tests. Depends if you want to take that chance or not.

Until last week it was just a case of having tests before you fly, no quarantining either end was required. It’s an overseas territory if that changes things at all.

I would cancel, get a full refund and rebook for May or June, so sorry about your Mum, but I just can’t see things being different for travel in mid March.

I'm looking at booking for May and in a similar position. I really don't know what to do. I think it will be okay
