Booster shots are always available in ON. 

I meant to say the ' updated booster'.

For those wanting to get a Covid booster before departing on a ship in October/November:

Do you think it's possible to get one at Walgreens or CVS in the U.S.?  

Has anyone done this?  We cannot make an online appointment as it requires a U.S. address.   

We are close to the Buffalo/ Niagara Falls border and could easily do this a few weeks before we sail.

Not sure when the boosters will become available in Ontario, so we'd go get it in the U.S. if we cannot do it here in 

time. 

It may not be a free shot, but would rather have it than not, before flying and embarking.

Well, the 1,000 EUR is to pay off the carabinieri who will be guarding him while he carries out the foreign currency withdrawal.

As a first-time Canadian traveler overseas to Italy, I'm wondering about how best to get Euros.

Should I exchange it here or in Italy through an ATM?  A number of Youtubes on navigating the FCO airport have pointed out

there are many ATMs there and throughout Rome.    

I have an account with RBC, and the branch staff told me that if I use my credit card in Italy, there will be two conversions- Euros to USD to CAD,

with those associated exchange costs.  (?)    

Any insight is much appreciated!    

Hi all,

Does anyone know of an an online, up to date ship port schedule- particularly for Italy and Greece.  The ones that I come across in my searches are not accurate.

Much appreciated if I can find one.  

Thanks all, for the confirmations on Nexus.  For sure, seeing that precheck symbol on the boarding pass is crucial.  Good to know.   

Just curious, these days, to know if anyone has been able to use their Nexus privileges in the Fort Lauderdale airport, when flying back to Canada?  

We are flying on Westjet, with our  "known traveller numbers" in the booking. 

Oh, I just noticed your upcoming cruises- duh!
