Said it’s pretty fantastic as it’s completely dead while all the restaurants and bars are still open. Only complaint seemed to be their friends from the states that winter down there as well are mostly staying home.
As with some of these “travel bloggers” though I feel like it’s kind of ignorant to go to these places that remain “open” because you’re likely coming from a larger city/country where cases are surging and now you’re potentially bringing covid into these small towns if you were infected.
WJ and AC also just opened more flights to Hawaii recently. They were saying on the news this morning that if you fly home into Calgary the quarantine is only 3 days instead of 14 because of the quick testing at the airport there.
If I didn’t have to quarantine for 14 days upon returning I might go to Mexico or somewhere and rent a condo for a few weeks. I’m not really itching to go anywhere quite yet though

It's really stupid but I also get why WJ and AC are advertising to get people flying again. Their whole industry is down.
That being said, people are definitely taking the chance and going on cheap vacations in Mexico or any other place that won't force you to quarantine and then they can quarantine while working from home upon their returns.
Personally, I am too scared of catching the virus and dying to go to Mexico. They have the 4th highest death count with covid, lack of medical resources among other reason why covid is rampant there. CAn we even get travel insurance right now?
