Hello to all. Its been a wild ride and the rodeo is still not over. :(

 

To help everyone understand where each of our trips stand related to covid we are creating a special topic that will be linked to the main trip details topic #1 and will provide periodic updates as we have them. If you know information or have information related to the country or our provider PLEASE email kamala@singledivers.com so I can assess and add to our running list of important updates. :thankyou: and :respect:

 

 

MASTER LIST OF UPDATES IMPORTANT TO THIS TRIP: ROATAN STILL DEC 5-12, 2020

 

  1. We had 3 weeks in Roatan for our annual "Roatan Rodeo" but consolidated to one week ie. Dec 5-12, 2020 at Mayan Princess & Las Sirenas
  2. This trip is currently a go but that may change before the end of Oct so please stay posted WE EXPECT TO MAKE A FINAL GO/NO GO DECISION BEFORE NOV 1.
  3. Currently we have 3 gals signed up. If you are wanting to sign up NOW IS THE TIME TO TELL US SO WE CAN FACTOR THAT IN. Email kamala@singledivers.com with your input or intentions.
  4.  Roatan has finally opened back up BUT requires a number of covid compliance measures including:
  • Negative PRC test within 72 hrs or flying. Link to list of approved testing sites in the US coming soon
  • Online application with the country of Honduras which includes uploading your passport and affixing it to the application. (The app is a bit quirky but users say if you persist you will eventually get it. I have not personally tried it yet)
  • Very stringent social distancing and mask wearing mandates at the resort, in town, etc. (Usually on property the requirements are less stringent but not always. I am checking on this further)
  • The day before departure you need to fill out the online Hondurian survey again and affix your passport again to fly home.
  • More coming as we have it.

 

 

Entry restrictions

The Honduran government resumed international flights on August 17.

 

Entry requirements

Travelers must present a medical certificate with a negative Coronavirus (COVID-19) PCR or Rapid test result issued within 72 hours before arrival.

A completed form must be submitted at https://prechequeo.inm.gob.hn/ before departure.

 

Quarantine requirements

Travelers with symptoms consistent with COVID-19, who within the last 14 days have been in contact with a confirmed case of COVID-19, or traveled to a country with confirmed cases, may be isolated in a medical center or at the traveler’s place of residence/temporary stay for monitoring by the Ministry of Health for up to 14 days.

I found this site helpful:    

prechequeo.inm.gob.hn.   It is an automated system for getting our pre-check for the trip.

 

I have started writing out the steps that each of us have to do to get the pre-check completed for the trip.  I can create a new topic with the steps as I get them done.

 

I found that I can't go any further than putting in my trip date.  It doesn't let me go forward to December.  I am assuming we will need to fill this out 3-4 days prior to our departure.  There are some steps we each can do now, ahead of time, and I can note that in the steps.

Hi Kamala,

 

Has a go/no go decision been made for this trip yet? Watching flight costs rise and don’t want to miss out if they drop.

 

thanks,

 

Sharon

Hi  Sharon... here is what we know.

 

We believe the trip is a GO but we are doing the following:

  1. Confirming with the resort the room configurations given who has actually signed up for this trip.
  2. We need everyone on the trip to agree to be flexible to do a trip if needed if we can't get someone to upgrade to a single room in order to make the rooming work. (We do not have enough people to get our group leader spot so the group leader is paying their way 100% like everyone else. HOWEVER we do not plan to cancel this trip so YOUR vacation is safe but we need people to be flexible in order to make this work out for everyone! :respect:
  3. We need everyone to get their air fare which is 100% cancelable via the airlines NOW so they do not lose out on .any deals available. This venue ALWAYS has higher air so if you've missed the window we need to know sooner vs later.

Thanks Kamala. I will book my air. I’m willing to upgrade to a single as well. So you’ve got my flexibility there. 
 

Just let me know and I will send you the $ difference. Looking forward to this trip!

Note, you need only enter your passport information. Incorrect that you need to upload the passport itself

In the 2nd set of docs they want you to upload a copy of it as well as enter the number etc. You also have to upload a copy of your covid test as well. I just took pictures of each and uploaded those and they seemed fine. The test will be tomorrow when I try again to get there.
