There is a list to choose from that includes some 5 Star Hotels however the ARMY is in full charge and has final say so... We also want to use the MT Lavinia Hotel as its only 2 minute walk to our Condo.. I will know a lot more when my friend lands early Tuesday Morning...

Mt. Lavinia should be convenient enough then.

Well finally I can say "YES" we will be on our way to "The Emerald Isle" in less then 2 weeks time as it is not like traveling pre COVID but at least we are going and will stay about 2 1/2 months... I been waiting for this day since late october when we really wanted to leave...

Good to know your back on the island and all ok. So which hotel was the 2 week quarantine in ?
Looks like most of the tourists are headed there on a package tour of sorts with most of them coming in from Kazakhstan. They've also indefinitely deferred the re-opening of a travel bubble with India.

Headed back to Sri Lanka this week

Well this time all required is a -PCR Test and our vaccination card and go to roll. Little bit different then we left in March of this year no doubt...

Anyone coming to Sri lanka soon..?

Are you all still on the island now. Looks like there are some massive power cuts being enforced every day.
