Travel with George and Monica

Since travel is restricted right, it doesn't say we can't travel in our minds. Here are the posts of the fourth week of my challenge to folks to take a mental 5 minute break I call "Your 5 Minute Holiday of the Day" I challenge you to find one you relate to, then sit back and imagine you are there. When the restrictions are lifted and travel is safe, let me send you there for real.

By "This Year", probably means 2022 or 2023. So where would you like to go to find such an "Adventure"?

Since travel is restricted right, it doesn't say we can't travel in our minds. Beginning on February 15th - on my personal page I have been challenging folks to take a mental 5 minute break I call "Your 5 Minute Holiday of the Day" Here are the posts of the second week. I challenge you to find one you relate to, then sit back and imagine you are there. When the restrictions are lifted and travel is safe, let me send you there for real.

Nothing else needs to be said, except to ask which beach would you like?

Let's face it:- There will always be some people that will tell you where to go... but I will be the one to help you actually get there! (and back)

From Transport Canada - Feb 4, 2021 - Ottawa Government of Canada announces one-year ban for cruise vessels. The Government of Canada continues to monitor the evolving COVID-19 pandemic and the impact it is having on the marine and tourism sectors. Keeping Canadians and transportation workers safe and healthy are top priorities for Transport Canada.... Today, the Minister of Transport, the Honourable Omar Alghabra, announced two new Interim Orders, which prohibit pleasure craft in Canadian Arctic waters and cruise vessels in all Canadian waters until February 28, 2022. This means: Cruise vessels carrying more than 100 people are still prohibited from operating in Canadian waters. To limit the spread of COVID-19, the Government of Canada continues to advise Canadian citizens and permanent residents to avoid all travel on cruise ships outside Canada until further notice. Essential passenger vessels, such as ferries and water taxis, should continue to follow local public health guidance and protocols, and follow mitigation measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19 and prevent future outbreaks. These could include: reducing the number of passengers, ensuring physical distancing, the wearing of masks, and enhanced cleaning and hygiene measures. Cruise vessels in Canadian waters pose a risk to our health care systems. The Government of Canada will continue to evaluate the situation and make changes as necessary to ensure the health and safety of all Canadians. Should the COVID-19 pandemic sufficiently improve to allow the resumption of these activities, the Minister of Transport has the ability to rescind the Interim Orders. As Canadians continue to do their part to reduce the spread of COVID-19, our government continues to work hard to ensure Canada’s transportation system remains safe. Temporary prohibitions to cruise vessels and pleasure craft are essential to continue to protect the most vulnerable among our communities and avoid overwhelming our health care systems. This is the right and responsible thing to do. The Honourable Omar Alghabra Minister of Transport

As most of you know, our greatest passion (Monica & me) is to travel with groups of friends. We will be doing more in the future - no doubt. But my pledge to you is that I won't sell you a trip for the sake of making a sale. I want you to feel safe and confident that the details all work in your favour - as I always have. Please be patient... our time of traveling together will be here before we know it.

Name a beach that interests you...
