Re: 06/2020 - Borders Opening - Health Check Required
Doesn’t look like AA has much faith in them staying open or nobody is rushIng to buy tickets. I had a flight booked for $640 a week before Labor Day. The price of that ticket is now $360 (LAX-MIA-POP shortest duration flights). I put my previous purchase on ice ( good until 12/31/2021) and swooped up the $360 ticket which can be used against the cost of a future trip (if I cancel) to 12/31/2021. The fares for the end of July were around $410 RT.

So you don't want a refund?

I just booked three trips to Atlantic City, which is a 3 hour drive.
They banned people from 16 States.

My understanding is that you can only get a refund if they cancel your flight.

They advertise low fares and keep your money? Nice scam.

Talked to Weed. Jamaica is being a pain in the ass vs DR.
Covid test requred as of this month. Situation is fluid so could change any moment.
Supposedly you can get a covid test72 hours before leaving. And that is good. How they check if you paperwork is valid is beyond me.
Weed had paperwork in hand but they still tested him on arrival. Supposedly because he live with the natives and staying 3 months.
Guess you have the choice whether to get tested before going to airport or getting tested in mobay. This is going to turn off lot of tourists and the money spent on tests by jamaica seems not doable of the long term.
Sounds to me: cluster fuck

The feeling I get here on the ground is that they only opened up because of the Election which takes place this Sunday.
Just drove down the strip. Everything is closed. Playa Alicea is dead. Bourbon dead. The Haitian bar and Ahvnee close at 11pm. Everything else at 8pm.

I'm assuming they can stay open to 11pm because they're on hotel ground. I thought I had read that you needed to be a hotel guest in order to be served. If Ahnvee is open to the publc after 8pm what's the scene like there?
As to local contacts mines are starting to stir. While I"m convinced I'd have as much pussy as I wanted or could handle I'm a bit concerned about the lack of night life. How has that impacted your stay so far?

To be honest, I only partake in the night life if you guys are there. Normally, i'm either flipping chicas or relaxing poolside. So the shut down doesn't affect me at all. I only need a comfortable hotel, food and my contact list. I'm only seeing ex-pats here at the moment. So maybe things will open up a bit once the mongers get here.
I stopped by Ahnvee last night but it was closing. I'll stop by earlier tonight and report.
