We have bitten the bullet

Well biting the bullet still has risks. The airfare is now rebooked for Jan 9th. The remaining test to be completed is scheduled for Jan 7th. So all things being good that will allow us to get the all-clear on Jan 8th, travel on the 9th.

The flight had to be rebooked now as the prices keep going up the closer to the date. The flight on the 2nd has already gone up so the decision was made to buy now.
