Having received his COVID-19 vaccine, Clayton Outwater did what he’d been wanting to do since the start of the pandemic: He booked a Caribbean cruise.
The week-long Norwegian Cruise Line voyage isn’t slated to depart New Orleans until Jan. 23, 2022, but Outwater, 81, hopes the Canadian government will ease international travel restrictions long before then.
“I’ve got until Sept. 25 to cancel and get my money back or rebook,” the Hamilton resident says. His trip hinges on the lifting of rules that require all returning travellers to quarantine for a minimum of 14 days, starting with a mandatory three-night prepaid booking at a government-authorized hotel. “I love cruises, but not that much,” he adds.

More Prince Edward Islanders have begun foraging for their own food, and experts say a snack can be as close as your own backyard.
Josie Baker co-created the Facebook group P.E.I. Foraging Friends, which in the past year has amassed almost 1,000 members who share photos of their harvests, recipes and more. I have been interested in plants I would say for the better part of my life, Baker said. As a child we had a mint patch, and I would love to go out to the mint patch and get my parents to make mint tea for me.
