I would not fly anytime soon unless it was absolutely necessary. Being trapped for over three hours in a germ tube, while breathing recirculated air, is a very bad idea. I am very shortly looking at a 2,750 mile round trip drive to/from our Villages home. When we headed up north from our Villages home on February 29th, we expected to return to the Villages in three weeks. For obvious reasons, we did not return. Even though I really don’t want to, I have no choice but to make the drive. Stuff at our home needs to be taken care of. I am sure there are several science projects growing in our refrigerator. I can only imagine what the weeds look like in our garden. Preparations need to be made for the long and hot upcoming summer and hurricane season. Our yard and birdcage needs to be cleared of items that could easily become projectiles in a hurricane and our A/C needs it’s annual maintenance.
I will make the round trip drive in the pick-up truck, with the cap on the back, and an inflatable mattress in the truck bed. I will have lots of good food packed in a big cooler. It will be a two day drive each way with a stop in a Wallmart parking lot to sleep in the back of the truck. Bringing lots of hand sanitizer, face masks, disinfect whips, and a spray bottle of bleach for gas and restroom stops. At least gas is cheap. Plus, after being in isolation for over two months, it will be nice to finally get out and about. I am very much looking forward to spending some time in the Villages. I haven’t swam a lap or played golf for wayyyyyyyyyy toooooooo loooong!
