So Far, So Good

 So far, so good should be everyone's mantra in the time of COVID. All week we've been inching toward our flight to Boston (and Tuesday's flight to Madrid/Berlin). We survived scheduling a test/cancelling a test, packing a bag for 42 days that weighs only 50 pounds, rampant airline/flight cancellations, and, actually not contracting the virus.

Yesterday, I got some flack from a friend about how foolhardy we were to be traveling now. I responded with well, we planned it last summer when things were really looking up. We're both double vaxxed and boosted and have no problem wearing a mask when required. We haven't been to any superspreader events lately, and have mostly stayed home by ourselves for the past few days. We've done our part.

I hear a lot of hyperbole about how we should wear masks forever, how we shouldn't travel anymore, how we can never hug again, how we should isolate ourselves and rely on grocery delivery, home gyms, video games, and Netflix. I call bullshit. Humans are not meant to live like that; we're social creatures, made to explore.

And so...so far, so good...we're heading out tomorrow into the big bad world to see what we can see. And I promise you...we'll see a lot!
