That's a very good point, YVR. Without turning this into a political discussion ... All these measures loosening travel restrictions have been accomplished by executive order. They could just as easily be rescinded by a future administration a year from now. Also, the loosening of travel restrictions hasn't changed things for us Yanks as much as everybody thinks. Independent tourism is still officially prohibited. Can you get by with it? Well, maybe.
The point I was trying to make earlier is that travel has to be structured and organized. To be legal, it can't be something that you create all on your own.
