JK, I’ve been meaning to ask if you saw your new grandchild…so, glad you braved it and went. I definitely feel you’re concern about traveling closer to the holidays. I have not and will not eat in a restaurant. The mask mandate is now lifted where I started work, and my desk is in a shared public office, old building, poor airflow, etc.. I’m very nervous! I have to eat and drink at least a little…

Not to add to your stress, but Colorado is having a significant increase in cases. With winter soon upon us and the holidays, it certainly contributes to travel anxiety. And, a lot of people will be flying. My take on flying is the airplanes aren’t too bad, but the crowds in the airport would be more worrisome.

I think @estrada53 has great travel advice to follow if you decide to go. Just remember to not feel guilty if you decide not to go this time. As Rosemary says, we need to protect ourselves as we can’t always control what happens around us. Your family will understand and you’ll be able to visit again!
