Mixed Messages
This is exactly what I was referring to in the other post. Mixed messages between three North American countries related to land travel. As I stated, we have the T-MEC agreement but it doesn't seem ...
Forum Discussion
Pretty much as I said in the original title of this thread, we have all received mixed messages from all three governments. Sad that we should have strong relations but unfortunately, we don't. All three countries say the same thing about border crossings and air travel and all three do different things.
That's why this has turned into a fiasco and has caused many people to attempt to detour the official rules. Also, border agent criteria differ from agent to agent and border crossing to border crossing.
One friend just flew to Seattle, friends picked him up and they drove across the Canadian border. Let's see if he can get back with his Canadian plated car.
Others have shipped their rvs to the U.S. and have flown.
Mexico's border for entry is wide open no checks of any kind.
Mexicans are getting free vaccinations in cities across the U.S. New travel promotions include the vaccine in cities such as Dallas, Chicago, Houston, San Antonio, and McAllen. Aeromar Airlines purposely opened a Monterrey/McAllen route three months ago. It's a two and half hour drive but you can't cross the border into the U.S. by land but you can fly over the river and arrive in McAllen in 45 minutes. Amazing how we have found ways to literally break the rules and they make no sense.
No wonder this will take three years to clear the air. I'm not a negative person but more a realist who believes in science and history. Hold on to your hats as winter approaches. It's lurking in the air.
We are still waiting for our second dose. After we will boondock out in open Mexican national and state parks and avoid crowds. No air travel for at least another year.
It's history folks and we can either be a part of memorable history or tragic history. So what if I lost out on a year, I really didn't. I found many things to do around the quinta for maintenance and repairs, hiking in the woods behind my house, read many good books, and have made future travel plans. The internet, FB, Zoom, Meet, FaceTime, Whatsapp have all proved to be life-saving connections for many of us. I have spent more time sharing with family than in the previous 20 years.
I'm a stickler for rules and I guess that makes me a stick in the mud. But I've never had a problem by doing so. It's funny how some of us have thrown our morals and values out the window because we didn't like the rules. Imagine Americans and Canadians acting in ways that "they only do in foreign countries".
I don't see an emoji for a "guffaw".
