Watch this space I guess...
Hope he's right

Are you having to quarantine in Barbados when you arrive. That’s the only thing putting me off booking there, it says quarantine in a state facility.

That's awfully close to a lot of flights, would airlines have not cancelled most by then.
13th of July add 6 weeks and it's the last week in August.

Not if you're fully vaccinated you don't. You can use the all the hotel facilities except for the beach and PCR test results should be back within 24 hours at which point you can enjoy your holiday fully

You went for Barbados then? Good for you, I seriusly thought about it and the wife was shouting "book it, book it" in my ear but i'm a bit wary. Maybe I need to put my big-boy trousers on and go for it.

Go for it! Put it this way, I can think of worse places to quarantine!
