Snowbirding 2020/21

[Dick_B]

Unless a miracle happens there will be no vaccine for the Corona Virus when it is time to head south for the winter. It seems to me that the same rules will apply as were in effect the latter part of this year's snowbird season; namely wearing masks and keeping your distance. Who needs that?
I should have posted that the rules will take some of the spontaneity away from the experience.

Omg, that will keep most of you at home. All my C friends have it. Without any improvement, this winter could be dire for So Cal RV parks.

Maybe I'll do my part to help Southern Cal. I might decide to winter there this year if the Canadians stay home and the RV park rates are reasonable. Oh yeah; Texas 41, USC 38

Just call me "racoon" because that's what I'll look like by this fall 🙂 I'm fine with social distancing and wearing a mask and toting hand sanitizer. I'm sorry for the Canadian Snowbirds if they have to stay north 😞

Oh no! What is going to happen to AZ without our Canadian friends next winter? Going to be kind of lonely. Hope things work out.

As it stands now, Canadians cannot get out of country medical insurance. Unless that changes, I doubt you will see many of us. We may have to get reacquainted with Canadian winters.

In addition, currently the border is closed for non essential travelers. That may change but a number I have talked to are not waiting to find that it is still closed this fall and are planning a winter in Canada. Personally I’m still hoping I can go south. Have already paid for a month in Nevada and one in AZ....did that in Feb before the lockdown.

Home has wheels on it.

My winterizing method is to move the trailer SOUTH of I-10

we are booked in AZ for feb-mar already...as long as the park will be open (pool, etc). January will be on the road to AZ. if the country is still shut down by then, well, we won't have a country to worry about.

“Who needs that? ”

We all NEED face masks and distancing. If the choice was solely between going with masks and distancing or not going, I’d go. Sorry you feel differently.

Already booked my spot for the 2020/2021 season. Like PawPaw n Gram, I vote for option #2.

[2oldman]

You can always stay home.

Well, the choice seems to be:

1) Wear masks and keep social distance while trying to live in our FT travel trailer in cold and maybe snow,

or

2) Wear masks and keep social distance while trying to live in our FT travel trailer in relatively warm Florida.

Wife says option #2, and I don't argue.
