Getting Fit for Travel in February
|
|
Hello, hello! It's February around the corner.
Wow - and all the best news about the vaccine got muted, big time, by the news from Prime Minister Trudeau on Friday.
As you may be aware, the Canadian government has implemented further restrictions on travel and specifically travellers entering Canada. See https://travel.gc.ca/
My team and I at Vision/ Direct are compiling the specifics, and there will be further communication with more comprehensive details as soon as possible. But, at the moment, the restrictions can be summarized as follows:
• All travellers arriving in Canada must have a negative PCR test within 72 hours prior to arrival
• All travellers arriving in Canada will be tested upon arrival
• All travellers arriving in Canada will be required to quarantine at their own expense while awaiting arrival COVID-19 test
• All flights to and from the Caribbean and Mexico are suspended as of Jan 31, 2021 until April 30, 2021
• Beginning next week, all international passengers must land at four airports: Vancouver, Toronto, Calgary and Montreal
So, it's a set back. But - hopefully, the stronger measures will lead to a quicker recovery. (And, of course, my team and I are working to get anyone home who was travelling - shades of March 2020 all over again.)
The set backs can be demoralizing - so - we have to really work to stay positive, and focus on the future.
To that end, Lush Life will host a general chat about "Getting Fit for Travel in February"
With stay-at-home orders, and these strict new restrictions on travel to sun destinations, it's becoming more important than every to keep our travel dreams alive, and focus on future bucket list trips. So, let's focus on how we can get in better shape for future travel in February.

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.
