Safe travels too all fellow Canadians going down to Ohana. 

If anyone of ya's are able to pick up an extra zippo, sticker, button, kozzie combo from Ohana, please let me know.

Thanks!

Was already thinking of picking up a zippo and joining the Xmas gift thread this year. Guess I'll have to grab you an extra, if the goddamn illogical government covid hoops get passed. I'll let you you if I make it there, D.

Made it from Van with no issues. Been to Lumineers last night and Angels game tonight. Festival next three nights. Interesting was customs did not ask at all about vax status, only had to show negative test

Thats unfortunate. I was counting on that to save me time. If my flight to Toronto is on time I will have a 2hr 30 min layover there before the flight to LAX. Hope that is enough time.

We flew in yesterday out of Pearson into LA. Busy getting thru security and customs but not 1 request to show any vaccination and / or COVID test proof which we had electronically and hard copy. We asked the gate agent why and we were told once you fill in the attestation letter online when you check in as having your vaccination shots it is a random question. Random by who, customs, gate agent, was asked and not answered. 

Will it be this simply going back to Canada after Ohana Encore, probably not but we will see.

Enjoy the show(s) fellow Canadians.

That’s strange. I manage to upload everything and got my confirmation by e-mail that all was ok in about 5 hours. 

Once at airport (Montreal), it was even quicker to go through customs then pre-COVID as they already have all the info on the destination.

So is this going to be doable? 

Due to changes with testing in our province I now have to go to the airport to get tested. We fly out of Moncton to Toronto at 2pm. The test is happening at 1pm and lasts 30 mins for two tests to be completed. They give a physical copy and no email. 

We have someone else at the airport with us so our plan is to get tested then go to the gate. Wait till the last minute then enter the boarding area. Again wait to the last minute before getting on and hoping the person with us can run up with the results in time. If they can not run up in time can they email us the results themselves and we either use the screen grab or email (pdf) from Staples as our test result? Or does it have to be the official copy in hand or official email from the testing site.

Hope that all makes sense and thanks for any help

Air Canada checked my test result at the departure gate.  Took 15 seconds.  US customs was a long line.

Safe travels!

I just booked a PCR test directly coming to my hotel room tomorrow. I’ll let you know how that goes. Many local pharmacies can’t confirm timing of getting the results back so that option seems better.

What city and provider?

My PCR test is scheduled at the airport where we need to bring a passport. I just canceled my kids weekend sleepover to keep her contacts low. I asked her friends mom about their health and she said they were unvaccinated but healthy.

I have no information on this, sorry can't help.

At YYZ ….. no request at all for proof of vax…not from AC, not from US immigration….only AC asked  for proof of a negative test but they didn’t even look at it. Just took it and filed it. 

YYZ is a ghost town now. Nobody in line.  

LETS GO !!! O

Are you saying an image would not be good enough for proof of negative test?

Can I get some back up on this, please folks!

Just saw the encore festival merchant queue and there is only a slim chance I'm doing a long queue with a tired, possibly whining, impatient and bored child.

I’m staying in Santa Ana and looking for a reputable spot to get the PCR test on Friday before the show. Anyone have any suggestions? Want the results back within 24-36 hours. 

Any help is greatly appreciated

Any of you people going to show have mixed vaccines? For example did you get an AZ and Moderna or Pfizer? I had heard on the local radio news last night that the US isn't recognizing people that have mixed vaccines and won't be allowed to cross boarder. 
I personally received AZ & Moderna. I was hoping on going to Florida for a vacation in December and now a little worried.
