Joe, et al

A meeting to update our thinking and planning is a good idea.? I’m thinking mid to late April hoping we get some insight into the border crossing...and give New Zealand time to open (at least to first world partners) after vaccination results begin to show themselves.? I suggest we hold it after April 21 so we’ll see what happens with the April date now in place. How about the week of April 19? How do your calendars look?? Of course, a Zoom meeting just to check in would be great anytime now!

Currently:

In addition, Canada will begin??at more than 100 U.S. land border locations as of Feb. 22. The tests can be taken at either “the traveler’s quarantine location or at a border testing site,” according to Canada’s Public Health Agency. The move is in response to growing concerns over new COVID-19 variants.

“We’ll continue to do whatever is necessary to keep Canadians safe,” Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau previously stated over Twitter. Essential workers such as healthcare professionals, delivery trucks and airline crew members are still permitted to travel between countries.

Previously, Trudeau announced that travelers entering via a land border will be required to produce the result of a negative COVID-19 PCR test. People who fail to do so could be fined up to $2,370. This requirement went into effect on Feb. 15.

In early February, Canada extended its ban on cruise ships, prohibiting vessels carrying 100 or more people until Feb. 28, 2022. The ban also effectively closes the Canadian Arctic to boat-related tourism until 2022 and puts the entire Alaska cruise season in jeopardy.

In January, Canada?for travelers arriving by air: As of Jan. 7, all travelers ages 5 or older must present a negative COVID-19 test result prior to boarding any flight entering Canada from another country.

All travelers to Canada are also required to take a PCR test upon arrival and pay for a three-day quarantine in a government-approved hotel while waiting for the result of the test. If the traveler’s test returns a negative result, they will be able to finish their mandatory 14-day quarantine at home. If a traveler’s test comes back positive, they will be required to quarantine in designated government facilities.

The country has?.

At this time, only Canadian citizens, permanent residents, people?, protected persons, select foreign nationals traveling for essential reasons and immediate family members of Canadian citizens or residents are?. Of course, there are exceptions.

Gents,

It looks like the State side participants will have completed all of their Covid-19 vaccinations by the end of March. Not sure about vaccination distributions in NZ or their restrictions. Nor do we know the future of the USA-CANADA border closure. But we need to discuss the "what ifs" and our own personal thoughts on dealing with the uncertainty.?

Therefore I'm suggesting that we have a Zoom or phone Conference meeting to discuss it all. Sometime in early April would be reasonable. Everett if you agree can you set a date for the meeting?

As it stands now, Nancy and I would fly. We have saved credits on Air Canada from the postponed 2020 trip. We would want to have our flights booked a month before our Aug adventures. So by July 18.

Ev and Barbara are planning to drive there and enjoy a nice roadtrip that includes family visits.

Mac and Lynne, I think are favoring a drive.

Peter is still under "no International travel" restrictions.?

So I suggest that we put our heads together and develop a set of issues/solutions for a "go-no-go" strategy.?

Joe?
