Normally my travel posts are all sunshine & lollipops. The situation in this article is the reality right now, unfortunately. There is more and more pressure on the federal government to extend the Level 3 travel advisory to a Level 4 no travel, period mandate, and indeed, the announcements made by the PM this week use that kind of language without making it official. What do you think? Could they possibly do it? What would the ramifications be? Would you support it? Or would you resent it? All opinions are welcome - arguing is not. Please feel free to leave your opinion in the judgement-free comments. I’d love to know what you think.

The US is following Canada's lead in requiring arriving air passengers to have a negative Covid test prior to entering the country.

Aw, my daily FB memories are starting to fill up with past vacations...kind of a slap in the face this year, right? This was 2017. I'm sure the next month will be full of them. How depressing are your FB memories right now? Same???

Remember doing this as a kid and dreaming of where you’d go? I do! This is an entertaining and even quite touching account of two guys that went to the Great Barrier Reef based on just spinning the globe (digitally). Anyone want to do this and go someday?
