Yes! We can travel West, but not East (at least not really).
Hmmmm might have to do some research there...I love the West!!

Ermmmm... I can. Not sure about you. Different rules for different provinces.Hmmmm might have to do some research there...I love the West!!
Hopefully you will get back before August of next year. Luckily they extended our tickets to September '21 so Jack and I are rescheduled for late August next year. Fingers crossed!In Disney news.....hmmm I wore my Minnie Mouse shirt today....and um......oh, I decided to take Disney's offer of an additional one month extension on my AP rather than cancelling it. I had used five days of it plus parking and a whack of discounted merchandise, you know, when the world ended in March. I had just activated the AP on March 8.
Agreed! While we are now level 3 in northern York Region, I am nowhere near ready to be inside a restaurant. I've done patio dining a few times now but am very nervous of crowds. There are way too many people not taking it seriously, then I look at what is happening south of our border and just shake my head. These are very uncertain times.Not sure when we are moving to phase 3 here, but I'm really in no hurry. It still feels like a zombie appocalypse out there to me and I'm in no rush to resume normal living when the virus could explode again at any time, and there are so many covidiots out there not taking this seriously enough.
As someone who lives in a small town on the way to cottage country, I appreciate your thoughtfulness. I actually had to block the aisle at my local store as there were "out of towners" going down the wrong way and not respecting the rules. He was quite belligerent but I held my ground. I tell people if they are not wearing their mask correctly too, so yes I am that person, lol!We have a long weekend coming up here so we will probably head a few hours North to my parents' cottage where we can really social distance!! It's fun, but it takes a lot of planning to avoid going into the nearest town for supplies. We can go if we need to, but the small towns do not appreciate the city people coming up from higher COVID areas just in case, so we really try to avoid going to their stores and services.
Yes, you can fly on an American carrier. Air Canada and West Jet cancelled all their Orlando flights for August but there are flights on Delta etc. There is still a level 4 advisory against all non essential travel from the federal government so I wouldn't consider it.What?
What are the current rules for entering Manitoba? Is the 14 day quarantine still in effect? For PEI (where I grew up and still own a cottage), only non resident property owners or people with family in need of support can apply to go. You must isolate for 14 days. For me, it's just not worth it. I can't see taking a month just so I can have 2 weeks on the Island. It's hard as I do worry about my parents but what can you do?Yes! We can travel West, but not East (at least not really).
I am surprised! That you can travel at all, I mean. So... it's an advisory and not an edict, then. Still... I'm with you and wouldn't consider it either.Yes, you can fly on an American carrier.

14-day self-isolation requirements for those traveling into Manitoba from eastern and southern Ontario, Quebec and Atlantic Canada. Elsewhere in Canada, no restrictions.

No eating in restaurants for me, just a personal choice, but we do get take out on occasion. We are keeping on the down low just for the grandbaby's sake as well as trying to make sure that we minimize any contact before DD22's wedding at the end of August.
Instead of going to a cottage, we bought a new gazebo for the back deck, so that is where I will be found this upcoming long weekend - I might have to even indulge in a beverage or two...
From what I can see BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Quebec are all allowable with no self isolation. If you are in Northern Ontario, Manitoba is an option. The trouble is all these places require flying and I am still nervous about flying.I found some more info. Seems from Ontario we can travel to BC and Manitoba. But, I'm not sure I'd want to be on a plane for that long for either of those. For the maritime provinces you have to isolate for 2 weeks on arrival from anywhere else in Canada.
I know, it's really hard to take a month. Technically I could do it since I am not back to work until September 1. But I really don't want to be stuck inside the cottage for two weeks and not be able to swim or walk on the beach. Ontario it is! I have been looking at a few places for a getaway and I find the prices so high!! Disney is reasonable in comparison.That and of course what you said, having to have a month away for a 2 week vacation...I don't think a lot of people would be willing/able to do that.
Yes, but only NW Ontario (Not S or E)Seems from Ontario we can travel to BC and Manitoba.

Now onto the new drama - the strapless wedding dress is *very* tight - could not get it zipped up tonight (well, thb, might have been able to do it but I didn't feel like fighting it), but that was at 9 pm on a 30 degree C day.... Ugh!
Erm...Still hoping I get to make further use of my AP before Aug 3, 2021 when it will expire.
Presume that's not going to happen. But... good luck!If travel insurance is to be had for Canadians by then...I'm in.
Oh, me too! All of that!While I inherently support the decision on a overall health and safety of all Canadians standpoint...I'm missing travel to the USA (and of course Disney) so much!!
You have very good reasons for feeling safe. I've heard about some of the precautions they're taking and I agree with you that he's probably as safe or safer there.Right now my son is still on track to fly back to UT on Sept 8 to get back to his school. I'm almost afraid telling people about this because I feel like I'm sending him into Gilead, but I also really want him to graduate.
Oh, good! We're still flopping around over here. Seems they haven't quite pinned down what they're doing yet. My youngest DD is at University and will be taking classes online, but my oldest will be student teaching 3rd and 4th grade.My daughter's school released their "back to school" plan and I think it's actually really well thought out.
If you do, post a pic!I saw someone post a pic of a Mickey Waffle Sundae that they had at the Beach Club I think? I think maybe I will try to recreate that at home lol
I think drowning my Covid anxiety in a bucket of ice cream sounds pretty good right about now!!!

I'd be very happy if I was wrong. I hope I'm wrong.Ugh, you are even more pessimistic than I am lol and that is saying a lot!! But yeah you are probably right.
I'm very much Live and let Live. I have no problem with people living their lives in the way that makes them happy.Thanks for that!! Much appreciated that you aren't flaming me...not that a good Canadian DISer would but...just sayin' It's hard to make any choices these days without getting flak for it lol
I don't think they really know what they're doing yet, other than an opening date.Yikes...student teaching. I hope the schools get it together for her sake!!
whoa!Well I didn't manage to do the mickey waffles, but I did go out and get this:
No. I've never even heard of it. A quick Google shows only one in Western Canada (Calgary), but next time I come to Toronto (which also might be a little bit) I'll have to try it. Last time I was there, my sister took me to Greg's Ice Cream. Yum!Not sure if you have La Diperie where you are but it's awesome.
Holy cow that sounds amazing!This isn't exactly what I had but it's the closest photo. Mine was ice cream with key lime/white chocolate drizzle and crushed golden oreos on top. It was delish.

and he already has his dorm stuff from last year. The only new "school supply" he needs is masks! (I've been gradually buying them - I think he currently has 8? He could probably use a couple more, since he does laundry once a week, but this *might* be enough.
I had the lemon meringue. It was incredible.Greg's is one of my faves...their roasted marshmallow is the absolute best!! Mmmmm...I might have to go down there sometime...it's not that far from where I live actually
I remember going to work when the shutdowns started. There was no one on the roads.but sadly Toronto traffic is almost back to pre-Covid levels so...getting downtown is also more painful than it was a few months ago...that was the only benefit to the pandemic lol
Ugh...Here in Ontario I'm not even sure they have that down...they thought they'd be able to open on time...but now with all the protesting and additional requirements who the heck knows...
Yeah, I just ordered 3 more masks yesterday afternoon. I then predicted that today we'll hear that they've changed their mind and it will be all remote, since I spent money on them! I've always had the routine of doing laundry every weekend, so he just kept on with that routine because it was natural for him. I do have hand sanitizer to send with him, but no wipes. I have 2 bottles of Lysol (that we had had pre-Covid), so I may send one with him. When I want to clean something like my cell phone, I just spray a paper towel with the Lysol. Obviously, you wouldn't be able to fly with a can of Lysol, however!I too got my son a lot of masks...I have no clue how often he does laundry but probably not near enough...I also got him a box of disposable masks as well for emergencies, I know that's terrible but I feel better knowing he has those just in case. We also are asked to send Lysol wipes...which I had to search high and low for and finally found a couple packages of them...and hand sanitizer, which thankfully now is pretty readily available.
