SNOWBIRD OR GOPHER?   Leave a comment

In Spring of 2020 I flew from YVR to PHX then drove to Los Algodones Mexico in a rental car for dental work. LA is known as having more dentists per population than anywhere else! There are no restrictions crossing the border from the US into Mexico, not even a check-in just a camera flash as you drive in!


However returning to the US from Mexico was technically against new Covid-19 rules (i.e. Canada US border restrictions for non-essential travel as a Canadian without US residency).

Being permitted to do so I was granted a fortunate exception by U.S. CBS border officers, and advised to “not try it again!”. Therefore I do not recommend taking that chance for any other Canucks! 

By taking a one-way flight from YVR (Vancouver) to PHX (Phoenix), returning on a one-way flight PHX to BLI, (Bellingham) then by taxi to the border crossing on foot I broke no rules.

After being duly advised by CBSA of the need to quarantine for 14 days, I took a taxi directly to home. Any means of transportation from the border directly to home for the quarantine period is allowed.
