This weekend, I missed my brother's wedding in Newfoundland. And that's been so weird and sad for us to not have been able to be there to share in his happy day.
The Newfoundland government still is not allowing anyone outside the 4 province Atlantic bubble to enter the island - even if you self-quarantine for 14 days. Their restrictions are severe, but - it is working. The island has the virus under control.
And today is my daughter Ciara's 21st birthday. She's celebrating with a small group of friends she lives with today in her university house. So, we'll celebrate with her when she returns home.
But - missed celebrations seem to be part of the norm in this CoVid 19 world. I've done a couple of zoom funerals and wakes over the past 6 months, and they were weird but at least helped us all gather to remember the family member or friend lost. Missing a celebration is tougher some how. There's so much chaos in the world right now that celebrating a wedding is something really special, and full of good wishes and happy times. So, I was especially sad to not gather with my family in
Newfoundland.
Congratulations to my brother, Don, and his new bride, Carolyn! We were all so sad that the CoVid travel ban kept us from attending in person, but thankful we could watch the wedding ceremony by livestream. We loved seeing how incredibly happy you both looked, and we wish you both much love and laughter!
So, share with me - what missed celebrations has impacted your family? What special days have gone on without you, or gatherings deferred or cancelled?
What is the one thing you are most looking forward to doing when this whole virus thing is behind us?
I know one thing. I'll be on a plane to Newfoundland as soon as I get the 'all clear'. Gatherings with family and friends, celebrating milestone birthdays, having family reunions, etc are gaining more importance with the Corona world we are all experiencing.
I believe in .that missed celebrations will definitely lead to more travel. Families will start to travel to gather together again, and even be in their own bubble....

Some of my supplier partners are creating some new Canadian-based holidays, with packages that are air and hotel, as well as hotel and car rentals.
Want to visit BC's wine regions? Here's an example of what you can do.
We can take you to Okanagan winery area, and you can have a 4 night holiday, with a rental car - self-guided.. We can add on flights from major Canadian gateways too.
I priced this out for a couple from Ottawa, with return air, rental car, and hotels - about $2200/p.
