Between PCR's and Rapid, all totaled for the whole trip, we were tested 7 times. We had a fabulous time, and feel fortunate just to be able to have had this trip a go.
Any questions, be glad to answer if I can.
Note that the rules have changed since your travel. The rules were set to change on 1-Dec, with changes pre-announced several weeks ahead. Then omicron appeared and the rules for post-1-Dec were changed at the last minute. The situation seems to a bit of a mess right now with rules being applied inconsistently/inaccurately and/or that some rules aren't fully published. Local expectation is this should settle down over the coming week and clarity will emerge.
Glad you had a great trip!
