How are you doing?
Most of Canada is in some form of lockdown. Almost everywhere else in the world is still facing travel restrictions. Different states in the US have their regional rules. The UK and France are in lockdown, as are many other parts of Europe.
Canada definitely is not encouraging international travel right now. We've seen MPPs (member of provincial parliaments) and MPs (member of federal parliament) lose their jobs when word leaked that they'd travelled over the holidays - despite them imploring regular Canadians to stay at home. We're all hunkering down. Please stay safe. Let's get through this thing.
Good news is coming. The vaccine is coming. It's coming - but, it's taking its time. There are so many logistics to work through, and General Hillier is at the forefront in Canada. Many of our regions outside large metro areas have to deal with transport issues to respect the severe temperatures to keep the vaccine safe for its employment. Our frontline workers are getting inoculated first, along with the long-term care residents; and the general population will then have a tiered approach.
See Find out how soon you can get the COVID-19 vaccine in Canada and Vaccine Queue Calculator for Canada
So, let's all hang on.
But with that timeline in mind, we can consider how we can safely travel after lockdown with all the new testing requirements coming up at the nation's airports before the vaccine - and - we can consider what travel we can do after the vaccine. We can see a post-CoVid world is nigh. Everyone's risk appetite is individual - so whether you see yourself travelling post-lockdown but pre-vaccine, or you'd rather waiting til post-vaccine, the end is coming.
So - if you want to get to planning travel now, before everything opens again, you'll be able to take advantage of any promotions available now, and get in on travel opportunities before the demand crush puts upper pressure on the supply price.
In other words - plan today so you can travel tomorrow.
Bubble travel is the new thing. Travel in your bubble. Whether that's your family, you and another couple, or a group of friends - there are ways to travel (post-lockdown) that respects your risk appetite. I have access to private jets, private villas, private tours, and can work with my travel partners around the world to customize anything for you.

Northwest Territories - Northern Lights
|
|
One of my western colleagues at Vision Travel has put together a really special group to visit the Northern Lights in Northwest Territories this March.
Actually, she put together this small group with a re-known Canadian wildlife photographer, Dr. Wayne Lynch, around the Equinox with March 18-23, 2021. It quickly sold out.
She's now looking to do a second week of March 24-29, 2021, and is designing the trip to align with the Equinox to see the Northern Lights in Yellowknife (one of the top 3 places in the world to see Northern Lights). The photographer she is working with is a well-known Canadian wildlife specialist too, Dr. Wayne Lynch. http://waynelynch.ca/welcome.html
My colleague is reconfirming the last bits together on the pricing for the second week, but it looks like 6d, 5n for about $3600 Cdn/p for double and about $3900 Cdn for solo (excluding air, meals; including 3 Northern Lights Aurora viewing outings and some other special things). A winter gear package is available.
The trip only goes ahead if advisories lifted – and – if not, trip can be moved to March 2022. Let me know if you'd like the pdf for this trip, and would like to consider doing the trip for the second week of March 24-29, 2021.
We're also building an interest list for 2021. Let me know if you're interested.
