While the official position of the Canadian government is “Avoid non-essential travel outside Canada until further notice” and “It is up to you to decide what non-essential travel means”, Aimeé advised me that travelling to Mexico in October was essential for her. I had been waiting for the government’s “all clear” and vaccine passport but October is coming fast.

So I booked our flights to Guanajuato yesterday. We leave YVR on Sunday October 17 at 23:05. It felt strange making the commitment to leave our paradise in Garden Bay. But winter is coming and now I have a long list of TODOs in preparation for leaving. Fortunately I competed Phase 3 of the crawlspace project. It was a long haul but it kept me busy. I have a Phase 4 in mind but it might have to wait for next year.

Although the COVID-19 pandemic is not over, we are betting on Moderna to keep us safe.
