Next Week
It’s the big one this week, as the USA adjusts its entry protocols. We’ll be going in-depth into these later today. In addition, we’ll continue our regular news coverage, as well as the ongoing trip report that is taking longer to pump out than I would like.
Until next week – stay safe out there
And for those who are travelling – happy landings.
