Okay, here's a question. I've never been to Indonesia. Reading content by some who have, it's my understanding it's about a 3 - 4 day multi-flight trek to get there (from the U.S.). So, let's take a sample itinerary using return flights
Dan mentioned in his Jan. 2020 Raja Ampat report:
Day 11.) Did morning diving, then sailed southward to Sorong.
Day 12.) Flew to Jakarta (4 hours).
Flew to Taipai (5 1/2 hours).
Flew to Houston (13.5 hours - but on the way down, Houston, TX (?) to Taipai was 16 1/2 hours!).
I'm guessing the boat brings you back one morning, you fly from Sorong to Jakarta that day, and an overnight stay at a hotel will at least happen between Jakarta and Taipai or Taipai and Houston, maybe both? On his trip down, I think it was Day 4 before he was on the boat.
So, when and where do you get the COVID-19 test? On your live-aboard boat? Good luck with that. In Sorong? Or is it before you board an international flight? So, get tested before boarding in Jakarta, or Taipai?
Do we now need to factor in airport COVID-19 testing and layovers long enough for test results to come back? How long of a layover do you need in Taipai before boarding the flight to Houston?
In this case, we'll need to know which airports offer COVID-19 testing. And if the U.S. demands a PCR (rather than just rapid antigen) test by the time you travel...oh, crap.
