Maybe it’s due to a lack of vitamin D?

Life eventually has to go on, & if you’ve got your shots, & your booster, & your other booster…..& you’ve been cooped up for two years already….& it’s January in Canada….I get it.

Palm Trees & Bikinis are thin on the ground in Canada in January. Tequila just tastes better in Mexico, just like Rum tastes better in Cuba, and just having 12hrs of daylight for a week or two can only elevate their serotonin levels.

I enjoyed a week in Anitgua now 1 week ago. If I want to travel I do it. We did our own tests before we went (Antigua protocols). The resort handled the return PCR tests while there. And they gave us a home test at the airport. We did that Monday morning, they picked it up Tuesday afternoon and we got the results back yesterday (1 day after the official quarantine period if we had tested positive). The whole setup is a scham. But it won't stop me from traveling. I noticed that during the lockdown in 2020 when they told us not to travel that TrueDope had several overseas trips. Therefore I no longer listen to the hypocrite when he advises no travel.

Did they close down the tourism industry or something?

Of course they're travelling.

Some countries allow a letter with proof of covid and recovery as a substitute for a negative test. Not all. Worth checking out. Canada will allow that on return.

Sure, there's no guarantees during a pandemic but most people have been able to travel just fine.
