I certainly hope so.  Enough already.

especially because arrival by ship or across land borders does not require testing!

Let’s end this testing and get on with living

Great news…another step towards getting back to normal! I just read the article in the Wall Street Journal while in Barcelona getting ready to start our cruise.

 

Oh well, looks like I now have (3) extra tests…

The USA administration finally comes to their senses.  Who'd a thunk it?

Well I felt it was ridiculous that land crossings were exempt!

Great news for everyone who travels!

Lets hope the next rule change is testing pre boarding.  This is the world now moving to living with Covid as they said we would have to do - just as we learned to live with influenza

Amen! If they have done away with masks.. why test?

A friend was recently on a 2 week Viking cruise where they were spit tested every day and it had to be by 9 am or the "gendarmes" would come looking for you. So much for "sleeping in" on your vacation. Meanwhile plenty of covid cases on board anyway...

So happy we don't have to waste our time in Amsterdam getting tested to fly to SFO.
