21/22 Resort Covid restrictiins

[old goat]

We're the fans in wheelchairs?

I used to frequent the Palms Playhouse in Davis, the Winters CA before it was sold--I began noticing that the line for the men's room was longer than the line for the women's.
Went to a show two weeks ago, outdoor house concert, with the remnants of the Lost Planet Airmen. I think John Tichy has to be well into his 80's and had to sit down from time to time. But as long as Bill Kirchen can still pick up a Telecaster I'll keep seeing him. I'm not sure why anyone would be ashamed to be old. It's not like you have a choice.

I'm thinking that a smart promoter should designate a section for them, like at Yankee Stadium.

It's up to the venue and many of them do

[SKIP IN7RO]

Red Rocks has it covered. The Row 70 railing is a great place to watch a show.

Masks required when walking around outdoors as well? Heading to MX in a few weeks and assumed the mask mandate down there was indoors only.

Agreed on the lodge/bar. Did the mug club one season and had probably 4 beers max. Haven't done it again since.

It was a little unclear and confusing. At the resort, walking around, wear a mask inside and out. But within the pool area or on the beach, no mask. On the streets in town masking was 50/50 outside but if you walk up to/ into a restaurant just wear one till you get to your table. Indoors mask always. Walking down the street or on the boardwalk We wore them but I don’t think you had to. We rented a boat to take us out snorkeling and to the islands. No masks all day.

I mainly was just trying to be respectful. We got tested before going, and took the required tests to fly back. Also got booster shots before going too.

Have fun, weather was great. Wish I could go back till it starts snowing here.

Good info, thanks! Didn't even think about getting a booster. Great idea!

Yeah, not a bad idea I guess. I’ve had Covid, plus three vax shots, so I’m pretty sure my immunity is about as good as it gets. You really do not want to catch Covid while you are down there. Quarantining in a hotel for two weeks at your expense would suuuuuck.

Pre vaccine when my AF son was sent to a base for training he would have to quarantine for a few days--can't remember the number. Not on base--they put him up in hotels without room service.

An all inclusive Mexico trip is basically a cruise. Went there a few years ago. Lines to get to buffet. Hand sanitizer before you ate. I’m not a fan of masks, but probably a good idea there. I think one of my kids got foot and mouth there. Also went to go swimming in ocean one day, really only one good spot there not rocky and full of seaweed. Probably a couple hundred people jazzercising there, music blasting, could barely get in water. Basically a Richard Simmons concert. Definitely wear a mask, a condom, and whatever other ppe you can find.

I’ve never had anything like that experience on any of my trips there. That sounds horrible. And I think most resorts are still at some sort of limited capacity anyway. I’m not really a resort person, even when we stay at a resort I try to get away from it for most of the trip.

Damn, your antibody counts are likely off the charts!

Staying on points at a hotel that I could never afford (Cabo Waldorf) so a quarantine there would break the bank.

[teletech]

I guess trapped is the way I felt in playa de Carmen. But everyone I know that goes there seems to like it. Went to usvi last winter, no test on return. Might do that again this winter. No culture but the beaches were amazing.

Had a friend test positive and she had to stay 2 extra weeks in a AirBnB in Barcelona a few months ago. Cost her $$$$.

Its been a real shit show on FB that KH is requiring vaxx passport, while I imagine its a shit show at W/B with locals wanting the vaxx mandate.

[eldereldo]

Sunshine will also accept a proof of negative test.

[DougW]

yes but you have to pay for it.."proof of a privately paid negative rapid test taken within 72 hours of entry," thats going to apply to some hard core anti vaxxers who really want to ski but don't those things cost $100-300?

Nah rapid tests are like $50 at Shoppers I think.

[DougW]

All the press has been on the cost of tests coming back from US being in the 100-300 range. Still $50 adds a bit to the ski weekend.

I think the difference is if they accept a rapid test that is cheap $40, a PCR test for reentering the country seems to be $150 +

Yeah my brother was at Niagara Falls a few weeks ago, wanted to cross into Canada but said it would have cost $250 for him and his girlfriend to get the acceptable tests.

[MakersTeleMark]

Weird. I can get a free PCR test any time, and boosters are like free candy on Halloween.

Never made sense to me to require testing to go from one place with community spread to another but what do I know?

Totally agree.

The only travel restrictions that worked were the all in rules like Oz and Nz had. And even that strategy broke down eventually but it certainly bought them enough time to get people vaxxed.

But the community spread in Canada was a lot less than US , Canada has about 1/3 the deaths that the US has had to date. Its also political so people feel that they ( the more fearful) are being protected ( from the diseased masses to the south)

Same thing was happening across provincial borders.

I posted about skiing at KH last winter and seeing tonnes of locals blatantly violating rules and was told by some on this board just to stay off their mountain. Me skiing solo and not talking to anyone really... I'm a big risk apparently.

I also got turned away from a pub in Revy after they asked where I lived... same rampant rules violations by locals.
