My dad is currently undergoing chemotherapy for his terminal pancreatic cancer. He had his Moderna shot back on April 4th and he said the only side effects were soreness at the injection site and he was a little tired. I had the Pfizer shot on Sunday and pretty much had the same side effects as he did.
There really isn’t anyway to predict how the vaccine will affect you.

Take this with a grain of salt but a friend's friend is CBSA and they said that the border will tentatively be open again for crossing starting July 1st if you have been vaccinated. I'll believe it when I see it

I doubt White Rock will be doing fireworks for Canada Day, but I’ve brought the family to Semiahmoo resort and watched them from there before. Can’t wait to do that again and play Semiahmoo GCC.
My wife has been jonesing for Trader Joes too. I’m sure we’ll be getting over there soon after we’re allowed.

For fucking real. Imagine being like "hey Americans come on in, but everyone who lives here please stay home, the restaurants and hotels are for our out of country tourists" although it's not a far stretch to believe.

I can’t even imagine how busy the border will be when it opens again between being able to go somewhere AND the Canadian dollar gaining near 15% since the last time we could go there. It’s going to be mega crazy.

Initially thought the border being closed was a pretty big detriment. No cheap(er) gas runs, can't ship items then pick them up to save on shipping costs etc.
Adjusted just fine with the massively reduced driving, and just not buying those things that cost "shipping costs". Even if open, don't think I'd want to head down anytime soon.

I still need my car parts, man. It's bloody highway robbery with the shipping and brokerage fees to have them shipped up to Canada directly...

Singapore has another outbreak, seeing record levels since last July. They're going into full lockdown for a month. Work from home, restaurants closed, max gatherings 2 people. (except churches and mosques, those are mostly exempt. I guess religion makes you immune?)
Taiwan also seeing record numbers, 24 cases today
Vaccine update:
% Population vaccinated (at least 1 dose)
Hong Kong 15.0%
Singapore 32.6%
Taiwan 0.65%

Of course, population in Canada with 2nd dose is really really small...

So every day it's different for who can give you the earlier booking.

That said, I really miss going on Roadtrips down there. Can we make it one way only?

All the places that are easy driving distances, Seattle, Portland, etc. Are all fucking dumps now given what’s been happening before during and after this pandemic
The only place I kinda want to go back to is Disneyland as I have a young neice and nephew who id love to take. But my wife kinda adamant on not spending any money in the states. She keeps bringing up euro Disney but I said I’d rather not go period if that’s the case lol

Well if I'm road tripping in the states I'm not going to be spending much time in any cities.
Drive down to SF hugging the coast
Drive to Yellowstone NP
Drive to Crater Lake, Tahoe, Yosemite
Drive Vegas to Santa Fe along Route 66
Don't have to stop in a city bigger than a 100K if you don't want to.
