This is good news but Im waiting for the US to lift restrictions and allow us to return from our Alaska cruise without a covid test.  We go from Seward to Vancouver and as of now, unless someone can show me differently, we still need a test to get back into US.

What are the odds of the US lifting restrictions? Canada is usually a follower so somewhat surprised in this.

I’d wait until the press conference tomorrow, and keep your fingers crossed that cruises will be included.

I really dont know.  Its so ridiculous at this point.  

 

Its why I am not ordering any more binax emed tests or trying to research places in Vancouver for a test until I get the info.  I have 70 plus days.

We are cruising from and returning to Vancouver... I also hope that they will get rid of the testing in order to fly back to the US! It's crazy that we can cross the border by land without a test, but have to test if we fly.  But at least one testing obstacle is removed now!
