Life In the age of COVID, have you traveled?

**ShortRoundChief** · 03-03-2021, 07:41 PM

Last year we were about to hop on a plane and fly to Florida. That flight-trip got canceled. Our 5 year anniversary is on the 18th and we’re revisiting where we spent our honeymoon-in Vegas.

Anything new to expect on the plane? Will people be talking about gas prices? Will the plane come apart in mid air??

Are peanut allergies a thing?

I've been more than five miles from home precisely once in the past year, and that was only about ten miles. I've become a medieval villager.

The wife and I have long-held reservations in California in April. If we can get vaccinated before then, we might go. But I doubt that we'll be vaccinated in time and it's a high-Covid area, so it's doubtful.

I also have a deferred trip in May to West Virginia that was pushed back from last year. If I'm vaccinated by then, I'm tempted to rent an RV and do that one as a road trip.

To and from work, yes.

Flying is all normal except for the mask and there are no meal or booze options. Might even get yourself a full row. Last few trips I've made are not selling the middle seat (Delta).

Wife and kid 1 are going to AZ in a few weeks. They did not invite me

Wife decided to go during NDSU spring break with kid 1. Somewhat to get away from Kid 2...who has been in the house with wife for a year.

with me getting out of the house every day-wife decided to leave me at home. These things happen when your wife makes more money than you do.

We will be going to either Philly or NYC for kid 2 to college in August

Last I knew, Southwest (at least) isn't using middle seats and you have to keep your mask on the entire time..... and with no middle seats, overhead bins aren't as much of a hassle. And there isn't the same lineup thing at the gate for Southwest, but that doesn't stop people from crowding the front, of course.

Nein. My wife had travel funds on SWA that she had to use before they expired and went to San Antonio with a friend in early December. Full flights including middle both ways.

I went to Key West for first time in February. Was A lot of fun and the fishing was great. Flew American, plane was packed full. Was kinda surprised. I thought there would be some gaps.

Cops were pushy on Duval st about wearing masks while walking down street. But everyone took them off at next block. Only wore them to go inside some where.

Went to Orlando after Christmas. Drove there.

Was in Gatlinburg in June.

I've flown to Florida twice and went on a week long driving tour of Wisconsin last October.
