Canada has much better control over Covid currently but really that could change. People here are pretty adamant about keeping Americans out right now. Some are sneaking in saying they are driving to Alaska to their home or for work then taking detours. They've issued tickets to at least 10 who've done that with big fines. If the border is open it is likely a mandatory 14 day quarantine would be in place as is currently (my friend came back from Dubai last week where she lives most of the time and is in true Quarantine where the RCMP call you to make sure you are observing it properly) so would make it near impossible for her trip to happen.

I am also planning on doing a grocery order pickup that I can place by her door (not technically isolating = but no humans come within 10 feet of you as you pop the trunk and they put the groceries right in). We've known for a week this would happen, I just want to keep her safe. No sense taking unnecessary chances. In a true emergency I would still go to her in my mask.

Glad your husband's trip worked out with both a visit to his mother and your other family members. Is your mother prepared to do things on her own while you are isolating for two weeks? Can she get out to shop on her own, or have you stocked her up for the duration? I did that with my Mom while Wayne and I would be in Powell River for about two weeks at a time. - MargyPowell River Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17580698518291129041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2302691153455448442.post-75822772543357974902020-06-29T12:14:47.309-07:002020-06-29T12:14:47.309-07:00I'm glad for him that the trip worked out as w...I'm glad for him that the trip worked out as well as he oculd have planned.
