Nearly a year into the Corona virus pandemic Canada has launched the largest mass vaccination program in its history. And Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has promised that every Canadian — nearly 40 million people across 10 provinces and three territories — who wants to be inoculated against Covid -19 will be able to do so by September 2021.
We both received ours on March 23 2021. Also following with the 2 dose on June 4 for Bob and June 14 for me. Boy do you fell so good when you get that second dose. So as of June 30 2021 We can now golf, socialize with a group of 10 outside our bubble and outside, go to stores now that have been in lockdown with a limited amount of people.

Soon the gyms will open. Air travel is picking up and cruises (they have been shut down for 15 months) are starting to do test cruises. Protocol has changed. Everyone is feeling somewhat of excitement. Unfortunately for Bob & I we have decided to cancel our 196 day cruise. There are just too many unknowns for us at this time. Health issues, itinerary changes, Australia and New Zealand still will not be open in February, smaller countries with no vaccines. Nope not going to happen. We don’t need to have that to worry about. We will look forward in going down to our home in the south.
