Wife and I had no effects after our August visit...we ate out each night and wore masks where and when appropriate.
We are booked for the December too.
Hey there are no guarantees in life...either you stay home, or chance it...there's no in between

Everyone has to make their own assessments and decisions, but I'm in that camp. I've hidden at home mostly since March and encouraged other family members to do that as much as possible, but results have varied. Some have allowed exposures that I didn't like, but all I can do is suggest safer actions. I do weekly shopping runs for my brother's household of three higher-risk members in support of keeping them isolated. They get out at times for multiple doctors' visits, daily hyperbaric treatments 70 miles away, etc., but I make sure I don't contribute to their exposures.
When my elderly dad was homebound after breaking a hip, we took turns driving him around at times. He never asked anyone to go anywhere unreasonable or let him get out anywhere risky until his younger cousin took a turn. He had her drive to a cattle auction he used frequent on sale day, told her to wait for him while he went inside alone to say howdy, entered the sale barn without his walker, fell and broke the other hip. I asked him later how he liked the helicopter ride.
Then he died. He was going to die someday, but I made sure I didn't help hasten it.
You and me both. One trip in July (by air, American), and one trip this month (also by air, also American). On the island for 3 weeks in July, almost two weeks in September, and we went out walking the town and out to dinner every night. No symptoms, and no sickness, and that includes my wife, my brother, my sister-in-law, and both of my daughters and their families, total of 10 people, spread out in age from 8 to 62. As has been noted in this thread several times, stay away from the all night poker parties, avoid the temptation of multiple lap dances, wear a mask when you're out, and exercise a little common sense - you should be fine.

I just got back from the Red Sea. Arrived at Toronto from Hurghadha via Cairo. swab test with results back in under 12 hours after luggage pickup in Pearson airport. I knew I was clear before I went to bed. The test took 8 minutes, I was out of the airport immediately and notified by SMS/Email that evening. They also send you home with a swab test for day 7 and 14 of quarantine.
