Fishing Travel Links – Early May 2022
We’re still combing the web so you don’t have to (well, and also because it’s kind of addictive) and every day we find more information to guide, inspire and inform our future travel. Here are some pieces we’ve read recently that run the gamut from the helpful to the semi-ridiculous.
Canada opens up for vaccinated anglers, no testing required
We hadn’t planned to go to Canada this year, but a pretty cool option just opened up and we’ve shoehorned a visit to Lake of the Woods into our schedule in early September. Whether you go with us or head north of the border on your own, you can take some solace in knowing that as of the end of March you don’t need a negative COVID-19 test to get into the Great White North. It’s a great time to support the lodges, guides and outfitters up there who no doubt suffered from a lack of American angers over the past couple of years.
How to Prioritize Your Retirement Travel Goals As You Age
The biggest lesson here is “don’t wait,” but there’s also some practical advice in this Conde Nast article on how to stack, schedule and prioritize your list so that you don’t run out of stamina or money before the date arrives. We have a loose list that we’re constantly adding onto, but we’ve never listed them in order of difficulty or addressed the possibility that they might not be possible in future years. It also reminded me of how much I want to go to the Galapagos Islands.
The 22 Best Places To Travel Around The World In 2022: Where To Go Next
Except for the occasional unexpected long weekend, our travel dance card is likely filled for the next two years or so, but this article from Forbes gives a lot of ideas about great places to go. While fishing is not their focus, of course there are angling options in many if not most of these places. We’ve been in or near many of them, but among those we haven’t some of the highest ranking for us include Tanzania, Portugal, and Thailand.
All You Need To Know About Travel Insurance
We’ve linked to travel insurance guides in the past and we still feel at best lukewarm about what we know. Ever for an attorney, the language of inclusions and exclusions seems vague or confusing. COVID of course has put this area into greater focus, but on trips to remoted areas of the Amazon and Africa we’ve purchased insurance – and never had a firm grip on what that actually meant. We’ll take as many guides like this one as we can get to turn it from mud to semi-clear.
CBP officers discover bat meat in traveler's baggage at Washington Dulles Airport
After all of the stories and rumors about foreign bats and the diseases they carry over the past few years, you’d think that bat meat is the last thing a traveler would pack, but I guess the heart (or stomach) wants what it wants. Excuse my immaturity, but the term “bushmeat” makes me laugh every time.
