Road trip, East, North, West, South Aug 28 to Sept 3, 1980 km (1230 miles)
First stop Medicine Hat for gas. It is pay at the pump, we have had that for a few years, so no contact and no problems. My sister-in-law did not want any visitors since she was having surgery in Sept and did not want to be compromised.
Next stop is Moose Jaw. Hotel required masks and they had shields and masks. Wendy's sister is in a care home and they required masks, the restaurant did not but they wore masks. Got a car wash and some gas had to pay inside no problem. Next day had another visit with Wendy's sister. Found out visiting hours were 2:00 to 7:00 in the rooms so we sat outside in the shade.
Off to Regina, the main reason for our trip was my Aunt's Celebration of Life. Only 70 people allowed in the church which could hold about 200. All wore masks till seated. She passed in March at 95 years but had to wait till now for her celebration. A little visit in the parking lot with masks, there was no reception. Invited to my sister-in-law's for order in supper from Boston Pizza. She preferred we eat outside but it got too windy. We were the first people in the house for months. At the hotel masks were not required.
Off to Regina Beach to stay at my brothers for a night. Took us for a walking tour no masks required. It was windy again, there were no boats on the lake. Wendy's nephew met us for lunch the next day at the famous fish and chips place. Inside seating was closed but found a picnic table for our lunch.
Back to Regina to Wendy's niece's place for supper and later the same hotel. Got in contact with another brother for lunch, masks required. Back to Moose Jaw for another little visit with Wendy's sister and cinnamon buns.
Off to Saskatoon to visit with one of Wendy's school friends. Hotel required masks. Liquor store required masks. Taxi required masks.
Off to Marshall SK. to see my sister. Had a nice visit and a look at her garden. Time for home.
It was nice to get away even if it was a whirlwind tour.
