Just another day at the beach

The boys headed out for a run while taquitos were being prepared.  We had learned that the federal gov't had introduced a new requirement to provide negative COVID test results prior to boarding return flights to Canada.  At first I was suspicious that they could even do this, but a message from WestJet indicated that we would need to find PCR testing services on Wednesday.  Of course, by the time I commenced searching, all appointments had been scooped up.  I'm thinking that they will add some more opportunities considering they charge $175 per.  A few messages to various parties that might know more lead to only a sliver of a chance that things might change in our favour as Albertans before Wednesday.  In spite of the fact that getting stranded in Maui awaiting a COVID test might not be the worst possible outcome, Matthew is very concerned about his situation at 360ELM and how taking more time off might be viewed by them.  Oh well, off to the beach.  We drove back out to Wailea and located the Palauea beach via a trail through the trees.  Soaked up some sun and then rushed back to the condo to freshen up and catch the first half of the Orange Bowl (which the Aggies won in a spectacular finish that I didn't see).  We had made a plan to catch the sunset from the Birdcage at Hotel Wailea Relais & Chateaux.  It was spectacular and Myles got to do his favourite thing.  Afterwards, we decided to grab an enchilada and stopped at the Roasted Chiles for that and a couple of Pacifico's before retiring for the night.
