  1. Thanks for the updates!! We had to reschedule our trip Due to the travel restrictions requiring a negative Covid 19 test result. Are these still in effect for the states of GA and Fl?

    • The BVI is still closed, including the waters, to tourists/non-belongers. The projected opening of borders is November 1st, 2020, but iI highly doubt that will be the case.

  2. Thanks news of St John. Unfortunately we will not be making our annual 2 month trip to the USVI this year, ending our trips at 21 years in a row. It is not that we are too concerned about travel. We have been doing it all along.

    What concerns us the most is have a small uptick in cases and the Governor shutting everything down as he just did. We’ll be wintering at our place in Naples, Fl. this upcoming winter. Hope to be back in 2022
