PHOENIX (AP) Canadians Ian and Heather Stewart are savoring the idea of leaving behind this winter's subzero temperatures when the U.S. reopens its borders to nonessential land travel next week and they launch a long-delayed drive to their seasonal home in Fort Myers, Florida.
Last year, the US-Canada border was closed for nonessential travel, meaning millions of Canadians were unable to drive south for the winter to their seasonal homes in Florida and other warmer areas. But starting next week, the border will be reopened and many snowbirds will be flocking this way once more.
