Quite the crazy adventure during a pandemic! He’ll have lots of interesting stories to tell.
He’ll still be telling the tale after he has grandchildren I should think.

Sounds like this trip is really going well for him.
This is definitely a life changing trip for him. He is making lots of friends and seeing cool places.... and growing up. Wish I'd done this at his age.
We submitted applications electronically to the Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs this past Sunday morning and received our COVID passes early this morning via email.
That’s very good to know! It’s a QR code, right?
Did they need more than your CDC cards?
Did someone already post about the eMed test kits? Optum sells 2 and 3 packs, but eMed sells the 6 pack directly for about $27.50 per test delivered overnight FEDEX. Much cheaper than going for a rapid test locally with risk of delayed results prior to flights.
In addition to CDC vax cert, scanned copies of return airline ticket, passport and completed, signed application form.

What is people's experience getting their Covid test covered by Medicare if they have an Advantage plan (assuming you get it at a place that normally charges, of course). Medicare says that they will cover it for free under Part B. I checked with my Advantage plan provider, and they told me that they would only cover it if medially necessary, and not as a pre-travel requirement. But I checked with two local test providers and they both told me that if I just enter my Part B information instead of my Advantage plan, it will be paid.
The second place told me to ask Medicare, and they told me that in general when you have an Advantage plan, they reject anything submitted directly to Part B. But both told me that no one had come in to complain about being charged, and the second person (the urgent care center) said her father had gotten it.
I need to get one for a cruise in three weeks (and they will take the rapid test results), but If I know that I won't be charged, I will go in for a test run next week just to see how it works. We have not been tested previously. There may be free testing facilities in my area but not locally.
Breathing a huge sigh of relief. Son took his covid test this morning and it was negative. He flies home tomorrow.
With Delta and the chance of asymptomatic cases for vaccinated I was sweating it a bit. So was he.
Plan to the run air purifiers full time the first few days he's home. LOL
