The USA and Canada are opening to each other and Europe. Double vaccinated people from Australia will be welcome. Surely people are planning.
While the Australian government "plan" wouldn't see us allowed to go anywhere this season, I'm really struggling to see things pan out that way. My prediction is that as we move to the virus becoming endemic we will have a pretty soft landing. Well before December we are going to see other developed countries out and about and visiting each other with no fear of lockdowns. There will be enormous pressure on the government to allow double vaccinated people to travel with appropriate -PCR test controls to avoid hotel quarantine. The support they get from the masses to keep the place locked up will depend on how successfully they are scaring people with irrelevant positive case rates versus the real measure of hospitalisations and deaths.
My hope is for a two March trip to Taos (snow dependent-Taos can be finicky given that it is a very steep mountain) or even a spring slush trip to Tahoe or Oregon in April.
What have you got?
