A Wisconsin family says they re out about $5,000 after their vacation to Hawaii was scuttled by confusion over COVID-19 tests.
After contracting the virus over Christmas, the Casey family, of Menomonee Falls needed to get out and go somewhere warm. For 24 days before this the four of us were stuck in the house for a straight 24 days, Katie Casey said. Our kids didn t have any symptoms, but they then had 10 days from our last symptoms. So it s most upsetting because they were stuck. Including all of winter, they were stuck with us and we wanted to see them smile, said Patrick Casey, Katie s Husband.

They picked Hawaii. We did hype our kids up for about three weeks, said Katie.
