Just don't fly Air Canada and you should be all right. The problem with Air Canada is that they fired all personal that didn't get vaccinated. That move left them totally short handed. My daughter told us that there were only two people that were working the gate at the time and there were about 500 to 600 people in line waiting to be serviced.

She really felt bad for the families with little kids that were going through the same nightmare. Elderly people were collapsing in line while waiting.
At one point both service people left to go for lunch and never mentioned it to all of the people waiting. At this point my daughter was about 6 people from the front of the line. She needed to find out where her luggage was so that she could pick it up and get in line once again for the final leg home.
She was so disgusted that after the attendants left she went behind the desk and started riffling through the paper work she located where it was.
There were other people that were also on the same flight to that she was and were looking for their luggage. She gets on the intercom and starts announcing to everyone where they can pick up their luggage. The whole time nobody stopped her. She said that there wasn't aa single security guard around and spent 5 minutes on the intercom.

Now we find out that Air Canada is trying to hire back everyone they fired for not being vaccinated and they are saying f--k you and not returning.

Some rednecks in this area are still flying Trump Banners and a few Rebel flags still fly. What the heck is wrong with these people. He lost, thank God, get over it.

SC not a place I would want to live, but NC may be a different story. Robin has a few family members that moved there in the past several years. They love it and it sounds very affordable.

That whole visa thing is so convoluted, talk about jumping through hoops with no guarantee after 32 weeks.

Spain surely sounds a lot more inviting.
There's no way I could ever imagine leaving Robin for 32 weeks, I'd rather live in a cave where we were both welcomed.
It sounds like you guys are stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Keep the faith my friend, things like this usually have a reason for happening which don't come to light until things are settled.

Talk later, we're headed to Herkimer, NY in a few hours to visit with my brother, from there we're headed back to NJ to do some visiting and attend our granddaughter's 13th birthday party. Be home on Monday unless Robin convinces me to spend a night at Mohegan Sun. The girl loves the slots. 😁
