Wondering how many Canadians cancelling trip south
With the Canadian dollar at current low levels, just wondering how many people are changing plans or not heading south this year?

LOL...Tequila.
Just a few notes. There is a person in our park that does the Bingo thing twice a week. There really is more too it then what it sounds, but the point is the park picks up the tab for his stay. Question is whether or not he has to (should) report it to the US.
At 65 a US person doesn't get free health coverage. Just up to an amount the government will pay, anything over is our responsibility. Last winter was a park benefit for someone that was going broke with physical therapy that wasn't covered. We also do not get assisted living beyond a month, after that it's our cost . Of course we can buy insurance to cover the gap for both.
Last but not least is the US Virgin Islands. We got them, but a simple house starts at half a million. Great place to visit, but no-one can retire there unless you're Daddy got rocks. Which reminds me, we met a lot of Canadian snowbirds in Aruba a few years back. Might be an option.
