With all this testing a vacation to French Polynesia is looking more like a visit to a clinic.
This seemed inevitable. Why people are still getting on cruise ships right now is beyond me.

These pacific countries are opening up for the tourist $$ but will be shutting again as soon as they get infections, and then they need to deal with that mess! It's crazy.

Pacific Islands should be opening up to NZ only. Give the kiwis a good deal and they will come (it's winter there).
