Ryan Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Cuba (well Havana) could be off limits anyway. Phase 1. Domestic tourism opening up at the end of this month. Phase 2. International tourists can go to the resorts only, starting in August. Phase 3. Timing has not been announced yet. November could be touch and go. https://www.timeout.com/usa/news/cuba-will-allow-tourism-in-late-august-but-havana-will-be-off-limits-061720 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duxnutz Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Still enduring the transpacific 14 day quarantine on arrivals here in Hawaii. Murmurs they may lift it (prob with conditions) end July or August. They opened up inter-island today. I went to Korea a couple weeks ago and was business as usual. Singapore locked us in our hotel rooms and told us not to be like the guy from Fedex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meklown Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 All international arrivals to undergo 14 day quarantines. This has been partially relaxed for executives of some large companies travelling to/from mainland China to facilitate business travels, but nothing doing for the rest of the population. Territory-specific relaxation seems to be on the cards in July, number of cases permitting. Hopefully Macau, Taiwan, Japan etc continue their downward trend of cases and some kind of reciprocal arrangements can be made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzz Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 You should have taken my advice years ago, and moved FOH to a cargo vessel anchored off the coast. Then you could have sailed to Cuba on the MS Doofus. Since Havanfest looks to be officially off.... does that mean Havanthon is back on the cards?

Your concept of moving FOH off the coast reminds me of Pirate Radio in the 60's in the UK. There's a great movie about it called the boat that rocked. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Boat_That_Rocked 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habana Mike Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 The US State Department has raised its global travel warning to the highest level (Level 4: Do not travel), which "recommends" that citizens avoid all international travel. Borders between Mexico and Canada are closed. US citizens who wish to travel within the United States are currently not blocked from doing so by any official nationwide advisories or restrictions, but should consider the risks of being in crowded spaces and their ability to self-isolate at their destinations. If cases keep increasing in the US I wouldn't be surprised if other countries ban travel from the US..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyO Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 I do not suggest going under Phase II. A false positive test result could still get you in one of those crummy hospitals (No AC, lots of bugs). You will not be going to Cira Garcia and you will do the complete 14 days. Then when you get out the airport is shut and a hurricane is on its way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Government is pushing the line that there will be no international travel permitted until 2021. Cuba November on a precipice. Fill us in on your international restrictions (current and forecasting to the end of the year). Let me start with the obvious : Cuba is not on a precipice - it has already fallen off the cliff regarding travel this year. At least travel in the sense that we like to do - individual and Casa Particular oriented. Not some 2 weeks AI package in some tourist ghetto as far away from Cuba as it can be, except that it is located somewhere in Cuba but you wouldn't know it. Long haul flying is waaaaay off here in Europe. Some short haul flights have started as a test between Germany and Mallorca. I am happy borders are open within Europe and I can meet my European neighbours for cigars soon just by driving a few hours. Never been so happy about living in Central Europe. Has some advantages when driving and German Autobahns ... well you can almost fly on them .... ? Might change my blog name to "driving cigar" temporarily ... ? 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhinoww Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 All I can say is that I’m glad I started hoarding adding cigars The middle of last year. I used to fly for work and pleasure every few weeks. I flew two legs this year and don’t anticipate flying again for some time. Heck, my company just announced that our front line customer (telephone) facing employees won’t be coming back to an office until next year. Slowly opening up HQ with 100 people in early July. Normally 4,000 people would be in that building every day. Even regional car travel is extremely restricted. Webex and MicrosoftTeams seem to be the only virtual travel I’ll see for a long time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGipper Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Maybe you know this, but that's clearly a fake map of Canada. Unless we believe there's zero cases in Canada's largest population centres like Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, Calgary, Ottawa, etc. Meanwhile the two largest red dots in Canada appear to correspond to Ogoki, Ontario, with a population 252; and Sakami, Quebec, with no permanent population and only a hydroelectric project there, and the nearest Tim Horton's being a 12 hour drive away.
