Hi Monica,
as a NZder, I am dismayed that our country has lost a voice such as yours.

as a NZder, I am dismayed that our country has lost a voice such as yours.
My husband is Australian and as you may know, for many years we didn't need a pp to travel back and forth between our two countries. Having lived here for over forty years, we are in the ridiculous situation whereby if we go to visit his family and our grandchildren in Australia he may not return with me, under the current mandates. Everything he/we own is in NZ, including our home. My husband has contributed enormously to NZ, and should not be treated like a second class citizen.The stupidity of the current rules enacted by the NZ government beggars belief. We are working with a group to try and address this situation but how long it will take to resolve the idiocy is an open question.
I regret your departure and wish you well for the future. Our loss, Mexico's gain.
Ugh! They are deliberately trying to restrict our movement though it makes NO scientific sense. The US has a similar rule that foreign nationals must be vaccinated to enter the country.
The only way one can travel between two countries unvaccinated now is if one country has no restrictions (this represents only a few dozen countries now) or is a citizen of the other country. 
You are in a very similar situation to me with these really old grandparents, only in my case there was a way out. I feel immense rage at the families that were and still are separated over this.
It is horrible here in Canada. There isn't any logic or common sense in any of the policies. I just came back from the US and have to quarantine for two weeks, do two tests by video with a nurse observing, and can't work for that time period. While those jabbed folks can cross with impunity even if they have active covid. It is punishment for the dissenters plain and simple.
The logic is really quite basic. They want that Frankenjuice in your arm. You either comply, or they strip you of your rights, making your life so limited and inconvenient and painful that eventually you cry uncle and do as they say.
Oh you thought it had something to do with epidemiology, immunology, and virology? Lol no.
It is normal for government in recent decades to have no sense of logic, but to a good portion of the population foregoing thought processes is mind boggling.
I want to see Trudeau dangling from the gallows. Him, his entire cabinet, every one of his appointees, and every single provincial politician and bureaucrat that had a role in organizing this.
I actually want to see them all pilloried and then to see their heads on the spires of Parliament Hill fencing. I was trying to contain my wrath a bit, so I am not really merciful at all when it comes to these perpetrators.
In Prague I once saw a gibbet with a skeleton that had apparently been dangling in place for centuries. A similar eternal decoration in the House of Commons would serve nicely to provide future parliamentarians a salutary degree of encouragement.

Monica, I recommend Baja, I hear the surfing is fantastic.
Thanks! 😂 I am more likely to wind up in Playas de Tijuana living in my motorhome, as that’s where the clinics are.
I think there’s a possibility that Coley’s toxins could help people with all kinds of conditions other than cancer.
When I can build up the capital, I would to explore the possibility of opening a clinic for fever therapy.
I'm a Canadian national residing in the US. If I leave the US I can't come back; if I enter Canada, I can't leave.
I can’t possibly “like” that comment. 😡😡😡

I am grateful I was able to get back to see mine: https://themariachiyears.substack.com/p/a-tribute-to-my-wise-grandfather?s=w

There isn’t any logic or common sense anywhere, altho some countries are somewhat less tyrannical than others. Turdeau is one of the worst, for sure
He is the worst and I want to see him behind bars for the rest of his life at the least along with many others.
You're a merciful one.

A mockup to display at the hill might be in order.
Agree!
There’s lots of us being held prisoner in Canada. Crazy.
😡😡😡
Yep. Many in my family among them.
Same for me; as unvax’d I can go to other countries but I don’t think I’d be allowed back into my own US (unless I waded across the Rio Grande!)
If you are a US citizen you can. The rule is only for foreign nationals.
Mexico has no entry restrictions re: Covid vaccines.
Mexico may not but the US (I believe) can make you show proof of negative test to come back in
Unless you’re illegal & wading across the Rio Grande….
If you’re illegal you can just walk across the border, not to mention get a free bus/plane ticket & cell phone
Yes 🤬
