Earliest Time Frame For Safest Booking Post Coronavirus....?

I set the over/under at July 15th and will take action.
I have the over though lol..
I hope I'm wrong cause I can't wait to get back to Temptation but can't see being able to go anywhere till late July

 

Sept at the earliest and that is generous. Even if the virus gets under control in the states/Canada/Europe ..... Mexico is lagging months behind.

After everything loosens in our home countries I am sure there will be a significant period with caution and evaluation for recurrence/ another wave before we start to travel abroad.

If I was betting....October 15th

 

Ouch Steve. Sorry, but I have to be realistic. I would love to be wrong and hope I am but the writing is on the wall. We’re scheduled for my wife’s fabulous 50 bday party in June @TTR. We’ve been looking forward to it for a couple years now but “the child is grown the dream is gone”.

 

So if we book thru Temptation's own website for resort + flight package for July, 3 months away, & if things haven't open back up yet, will resort work with the airlines to reschedule/rebook our flights & resort dates to a later date, with penalties nor other fees?
Or is that still too risky too early to book....?

 

Yes, it was horrific to experience the Hospiten hospital and lack of service for our friend when he passed...

We had no idea that the ambulance company would take him to that Hospiten hospital, but it definitely opened our eyes to the whole situation. (Not sure if the ambulance company and that hospital are in cahoots)
I do hear good things about Galenia hospital though...

Hopefully everyone is safe out there, we are planned back down to TTR in Sept and hope all this mess will be calmed down by then...

Happy Easter all!!

 

Yes, I remember that. Not rubbing salt in a wound, but that set of procedures and tests, while very serious, were elective. Being elective, that's how they do it. I'm wondering, did they do the full "informed consent" lecture to you about how the procedure might not work in the end, or did they just scoop the cash out of your pocket, metaphorically speaking?

Emergency cases in the states... thelaw called EMTALA... makes things operate differently. However, EMTALA also contributes quite.... um... I might say "catastrophically" to the high cost of medical care in the U.S.

"Don't have doctor? Go to the E.R., they have to see you." Well, yes... but not really. See you, sure? Are you stable? OK, well, then we're done.

But, in the horrible story above about the man with the heart attack... the system Would have kicked in and he would have received treatment. Assuming even a serious myocardial infarction, his chances of recovery would have been orders of magnitude better.

The EMTALA thing also contributes, I think, to how Americans think about going abroad... standard American ignorance about the world. I mean, "Everyone has Emergency Rooms, right?"

I think I'm going to start planning my 2021 travel.

 

I think our plan will be to book on ‘shorter’ notice, a couple weeks in advance at most. Our March trip was canceled... so we’re ready to go from a theme night perspective.

We’ve done August a few times, so maybe then... We’ll see.
