Update Day 2 - Happy Easter! We got our 'not detected' results at around 2 AM. Of course, I didn't read them until after we got up.
So we are now capable of entering our own country. However, as it is a sunny Sunday, we've decided to spend the day and another night here in Blaine. We can enjoy the waterfront and slowly re-pack tonight.
We'll call for an Uber to take us and our bags to Peace Arch Park's US side parking lot. The Peace Portal, a large arch and landscaped area sits between the US and Canadian border entrances. People from either side can enjoy the area without restriction. In fact, when some folks are separated for various reasons, they can meet face to face here. We will roll ourselves across the border and find a Surrey, BC Uber driver to get us back to New Westminster.
Barring any last-minute snafus, we should flip everything on in our apartment tomorrow and ready ourselves for 14 days of sitting around inside.
This business, just across the street from the hotel, provides our sustainance. The Thai food we buy is always enough for both lunch and dinner. Yesterday, we picked up some coffee, packet oatmeal, and juice with a few other items at the Rite Aid after returning from our trip to Bellingham for COVID testing.
