Pleased that restrictions are lifting and we can travel. Husband and I plan to travel to Canada soon to see our youngest. Daughter is settled there with a good job, and a home. Last summer, she and her partner bought a house together and I've not yet seen it.
But travelling can be costly and stressful enough without Covid, and this time we have to get PCR tests, costing nearly £100 each. We have to have negative PCR results before we're allowed on the plane. That means we'll need similar tests from Canada before we can fly back too. That adds nearly £400 to the cost of the trip. Bit of a pain.
But the five of us are looking forward to the visit. Husband has dug out his passport, and checked my booking for our PCR tests 72 hours or fewer before our flat. Daughter is telling me something of what they've planned, like to take something nice to wear cos we'll have a meal out one evening. The woman-who-should-be-daughter's-MiL is preparing the turkey cos it'll thanksgiving Canadian happens when we're there. That's so exciting - if you just go on holiday you don't get such experiences, only when you've got friends and family in the company.
