LoL, I'll PM you my off-grid location this weekend and we can drink beer because I'm guessing you're going to "need to run a few errands" at stores that might take a lot longer to get to than normal.

They are coming here lol, I am not going there.
Isn’t there a hurricane? Lol
I meant here.
I got you, Fam. My OnlyFans subscribers like you will have all the details.
Yeah, fuck. I forgot that hurricane. Elsa? As in LeTitsNow?
The weather on PEI has been super shit from what my family tells me, should be due for the usual 3-4 nice weeks of weather that PEI gets a year.
Any people with families of young kids that arent vaccinated risking trips out of the country in winter / spring next year? We were supposed to go to Hawaii this spring, it got moved to next spring now its been moved to potentially summer (its been moved because our family member with the timeshare is fearful that our AZ/Pfizer mix wont allow us into Hawaii, although we dont really want to go to Hawaii in summer because its nice in Canada at that time - wanted an escape from winter) So now we are thinking perhaps we would like to go to Mexico during winter but who knows when this quarantine with kids thing is going to be lifted.
Regarding the flight changes... We booked to go to Vancouver in August and our flights have already been changed twice.
Has anyone driven to the states recently? Do you still have to say it’s essential travel?
According to my cousin who is immigrating to Halifax (fully vaxed parents but no vax kids), he is expecting PCR test at Pearson from HK and allows to continue to Halifax directly and quarantine at home for 14 days.
How that really plays out on the ground, I guess I get to hear from him next week.
To the best of my understanding there is no current exemption for unvaccinated children to enter Nova Scotia unless they are subject to a custody order.
Halifax airport hasn't been consistent. Aka shit show.
Source: I know people that travel out here for work regularly.
It’s confusing for sure, seems like Nova Scotia doesn’t want tourism dollars again this year.
Immigration is probably under the exemption or under custody. Not sure.

All I know is they accepted his check in but must provide location where they will be staying. It's not like he got a choice, timing is already tight due to immigration travel ban just lifted on Jun 21st and they gotta settle down before kids' school year starts.
Not surprised.
Meh, it's double meat subs for them from RE bubble alone with inflow of Torontonians and international immigrants.

Want to give an update on this in case anyone's curious.
My dad used his aeroplan points to book his flight from Hong Kong to Calgary (layover Vancouver) for July 12. On July 10 he got an email from Aeroplan that they changed his Van to Calgary portion of flight to July 15, so a 3 day layover. Called Air Canada (1 hour hold) and they said they do this automatically to accommodate the hotel quarantine requirements. The agent offered to change his flight back to leave on July 12th, but since it was booked through points, it had to be done by Aeroplan and Aeroplan were not taking ANY phone calls. It just gets forwarded to an automated message. No hold or call back option. Frustrated, we decided to just cancel that ticket and book a new one with 'cash' for July 15th.
He just got back last night. When he got to Vancouver they offered to give him a home test kit, but he refused and wanted to get tested on the spot so he doesn't have to deal with mailing samples and what not. They agreed but made him fill in all the forms again. As soon as he got tested they just let him go on his way. Didn't even tell him to isolate until the arrival result test comes back negative. The whole process took about an hour.
This morning he got an ArriveCan notification to do daily symptoms check-in, but we called ArriveCan and they said it's not required for excepted/fully vaccinated traveler and to just ignore.
Overall, pretty smooth and no surprises or major delays.
Edit: He got tested in Vancouver ~ 1pm yesterday and just got his results now at 2pm. 25 hours turnaround.
We have a 1 year old, will be about 20 months old by February. We officially booked our Mexico vacay for February just the other day. Technically unvaccinated kids have to quarantine for 2 weeks upon return. But it's next to impossible to track that with a kid under 2. And the wife is a stay at home now, so it's not a big deal for her to just hang out at home with him for 2 weeks anyway.
We are very likely booking something to Palm Springs or Arizona for November as well.
Has anyone been down to the US for work lately? I was thinking about going to Houston for a meeting or two in mid-August but didn't want to go through quarantine or other issues on my way back.
Interesting, didn’t realize the quarantine crap for unvaccinated kids is going away. Copy paste from YYC travel deals group https://www.facebook.com/groups/1179...7450628282938/

Summary of the announcements made today regarding border restrictions (lots of news):
1. As of August 9th the 14-day quarantine for unvaccinated children under 12 entering Canada with fully vaccinated parents will be eliminated.
However at the same time, there will be public health limits on younger travellers looking to join group settings upon their return to Canada (such as summer camps, daycares, etc).
*

2. On August 9th American citizens and permanent residents of the U.S. will be allowed to travel to Canada for leisure travel if they’ve received a full course of one of the four COVID-19 vaccines approved for use in Canada at least 14 days prior to arrival.
On September 7th Canada will reopen its borders to fully vaccinated travellers from any country, for leisure travel.
*

3. This begs the question, will fully vaccinated Canadians also be allowed to travel to the U.S. by land for leisure travel on August 9th?
The U.S. has not made a formal announcement, but considering our countries have always stayed aligned on their border policies, I think that's a good bet.

4. Starting August 9th the arrival test for those entering Canada will be a random selection for those who are fully vaccinated, so you may or may not need to perform this test any longer.
(The 'arrival test' is different than the 'pre-departure test' you need before your flight to Canada. That one is still required).
*
*
5. Sometime before August 9th, the hotel quarantine requirement is being dropped for *everyone*, including those who are not fully vaccinated.
*
*
6. International flights will be allowed to resume from additional Canadian airports on August 9th, 2021. (Halifax, Québec City, Ottawa, Winnipeg and Edmonton)
So assuming the US follows suit I'm hoping this means I can get one covid test in Calgary, drive down to Montana to pick stuff up and use that test both directions, and then just come home. A test at the border will be random if I need to or not but otherwise no quarantine or isolation? I'm good with that, fuck I hope this works as its been ages since a border run.
Facebook is probably not the place I'd be getting my information about government travel restrictions or border procedures. Not saying it's wrong, but I'll wait to see that on the offisshull gubbermints weebsitez.
