We need to go to China badly to get several factories back in line. I have already had my first of two vaccines and by the time I travel in May, i'll be fully vaccinated. I am planning to enter through Shanghai. Reason being is the quarantine, if still in place, will only be 14 days in Shanghai instead of 21 in hong Kong.
When Travel is allowed - Where are you going?

I've been (as have many here I figure).
Folks are very nice...more friendly than here in the Northeast US...but I did find it to be an extreme culture and culinary shock.
Won't even touch the crowded 14hr non-stop flight...similar to PHL - Ben Gurion flights.

Wes Bucey
Prophet of Profit
Before my wife died in 2018, we were planning to tour Europe for a month or two and during that tour visit the three towns (and a forest) in France with my family name [Bucey]. My ancestors were Huegenots who fled religious persecution in 1687 (a Protestant diaspora.)
The Covid sequestering put a kibosh on my travel plans since then and I only discovered last week (as I was resurrecting my plans) that my passport expires at the end of April. I had to get new passport pictures and send in my old passport to renew it. I suppose I'll still have to wait a bit until world-wide angst over infection calms down, I am waiting to take my second dose of the Moderna vaccine. The first left my arm sore and itchy for nearly a week, PLUS I felt unusually fatigued (Maybe the fatigue is due to being a really old dude.)
I'm also looking forward to Canada opening up and renewing the Stratford Shakespeare Festival in Ontario Province. My wife and I used to cram as many as eight shows in a four day visit. Great entertainment and great food!
As a Freemason, I have "Brothers" throughout the world. When I was a "Road Warrior" in my 30s and 40s, I visited many Lodges on my travels. I once sat in Lodge with former President Harry Truman and his Secret Service bodyguards. Truman was once the Grandmaster Mason of all the Masons in Missouri and was as warm and friendly in that one visit as if we had been father and son.

I am going to a supplier that easily takes up half my time as Supplier Quality Engineer.

I feel your pain, Jen.
In a previous life, I had a supplier that required far more visits than any other supplier before or since.
