Such convenience, such simplicity, get it all over with in one dose. Such a short time later yesterday, only nine hours, such back, shoulder, ribs, skin aches and fever. Such crazy weather on April 1st (in the Blue Ridge, VA), such pretty snow flurries and howling winds. Such a struggle to keep my teeth and everything else from chattering while under a duvet and two fleece blankets. All in all such efficiency all round and such gratitude for receiving this vaccination! I'm trying to think beyond the next couple of days to summer. No NE plans unfortunately but a week hiking in Washington state is planned.

Londra Palace (in Venice) emailed me to say their grand re-opening scheduled for Easter has been pushed back to early May. Also Chicken Itza (the historic Mayan site in Cancun) has been shut down due to tourists NOT wearing masks. If you haven't already, please schedule your vaccination. Encourage everyone you know to do so. Rumor has it that you will not be allowed on airplanes without it.

Expect restrictions lifted in all areas by then, many have been significantly reduced as of now; can reschedule as did last year for two of four of these. For NC already rescheduled three times (years) previously for different reasons.

Americans entering Bermuda must test negative no more than five days before arrival. Some slower boats may not make the five-day window and may still be en route. Once there, American visitors must check in and retest on day 4, 8, and 14. Sounds almost impossible for those hoping to Race, but the Race Committee has not updated their plans so far. You have to wonder what they are thinking. And each boat is sure to have a crew of 2-8 people at the minimum on board. So multiply that by 56.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8714922182513339530.post-32267993467908923852021-03-31T13:04:21.892-04:002021-03-31T13:04:21.892-04:00We've completed our vaccinations but probably ...We've completed our vaccinations but probably won't travel much out of our county.
