It takes two to tango on the border. Sorry to say, I just don't see it happening any time soon and I can't imagine some crossings being open while others are closed. I assume it would be all or nothing.

This is uncharted territory for everyone. It's awkward. We received a 60th B-day party invitation from close friends earlier in the week. It's like the weirdest invite ever. I'm just happy it's not a horn blowing drive-by and I won't be forced to socially hug anyone surrounding our accepted time slot.

"I will be doing it in shifts, so we stay under the 10 people rule.  (Sorry about that, but I don't need the police coming & giving me a citation.)...we'll have 6' apart, & I will probably serve you with gloves on."

Heard a veteran news columnist from Dublin Ireland earlier....said most folks in his region are showing "pity" for what the Americans are having to deal with....when asked about travel to/fro the states, he doesn't see travel ramping up anytime soon since the U.S. will likely be the global epicenter for the foreseeable future, even if travel restrictions between the U.S. and other countries were lifted....

In Canada's case, if the border ban is relaxed, I could see Canadians remaining at home but us "pitiful" Americans blasting across the border in droves.... Cheesy

I haven't seen people this anxious to get into Canada since Trump got elected.

Count me as one those "anxious" ones....Vancouver is a lovely place to retire in 2021 should the wrong guy get elected.... Wink

Manitoba has Winnipeg but may be able to open up sooner. May be your early summer for Atikaki.


Time to switch gears I guess and pull out those Atikaki maps that Ben and I looked at 3 or 4 years ago!
