That says it all!But the golf thing is getting a bit more difficult. After yesterday's walk, pushing the golf cart up and down over the soggy ground, I almost slept around the clock (other than pee breaks of course). And I'm still tired and sore.

Apparently, the U.S. will be opening the land border sometime in November after they change a law. They're suggesting that you many not even have to show your vaccination certificate unless you get sent in for a secondary check (but you'd better have it with you). And no prior test needed.
That would take away one of the roadblocks for our Florida vacation. Some time ago, with fingers crossed, we booked a week in New Orleans and seven weeks in Florida (it was book it or lose it - timeshare).
Next up is travel health insurance. The cost depends on age and this year Mardi joins me in the 80-84 bracket. If we bought insurance for the whole 11 or so weeks we expect to be in the States, it would cost a total of about $15,000.
However, our usual routine is to buy 30 day repeatable insurance. And after each 30 days we fly to Buffalo, rent a car, and spend an overnight back in Canada. That restarts the insurance clock and by doing that, the insurance, two return flights and two car rentals total just about half of the $15,000.
Costco's 30 day repeatable travel insurance may be the answer. Their cost is about 75% of what I was quoted by CAA, our usual supplier.
Next year I move into the higher priced 85-89 bracket, but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

Despite the aged and aching body, I dug and relocated some sod and cut some grass. Now sitting with a rye and coke and feeling accomplished.

As Bob Hope said, "80 is when even your birthday suit needs pressing". Of course this is from personal experience - I'm not talking about Mardi 😇.

Stay well.
