This decision of Seong&#8217;s puts some contours on our trip &#8211; we are now thinking that we will need to go back to Bellingham in early May to fly to Ketchikan; the oddball routes (via ferry from Prince Rupert, or via mail fight from Hyder) make even less sense than they did before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"525\" height=\"334\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.jamiemcclelland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Canada_covid_4_4.jpg?resize=525%2C334&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5046\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.jamiemcclelland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Canada_covid_4_4.jpg?resize=1024%2C652&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.jamiemcclelland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Canada_covid_4_4.jpg?resize=300%2C191&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.jamiemcclelland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Canada_covid_4_4.jpg?resize=768%2C489&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.jamiemcclelland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Canada_covid_4_4.jpg?resize=1536%2C977&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.jamiemcclelland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Canada_covid_4_4.jpg?w=1768&amp;ssl=1 1768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><figcaption>Canada looks a bit better than the US these days, but it could all be that testing is inadequate in both areas.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>So we elect to stay longer and ask our hosts about staying a month, but ultimately book for two more weeks for $375 Canadian per week; our tentative departure date is April 21.
