- come read this thread and see how all the August Dibbers are doing
- start looking at other options for the school holidays

Then spend the rest of the day dithering about whether just to book something else (but don't really want to commit to something I can't cancel) as I'm holding on to a tiny piece of hope that we get to go.

Are flight is due the day after, so we think Fri they will cancel them all down? I've heard absolutely nothing to make me think they will open up the border any time soon

Our BA flight LHR-MCO on 13th is still going. If it’s not cancelled this week we’ll have to decide to pay our next Villa instalment or not.

What time does it usually happen, do you know? Wondering what to expect!

Just a thought, but even if Joe lets us in, if the UK keep the US on amber it is likely that the fco will advise 'all but essential travel'. This would render most travel insurance void. I wouldn't want to be in the US without adequate health cover.

I'm due out on 9th, flights still available.
Although now going to check with my insurance if still amber.

I would assume assume that once the double vaccinated do not need to quarantine rule is implemented, the FCO rules will change? I guess we will know more when the government make an announcement, or even less as we will probably be even more confused!
