Daily Observations
My
Sometimes-Long-Winded ThoughtsSky is
Sky is blue…snow
has melted, wind seems to be sticking around.
I, like a
few others, am tired of Covid and the related hassles. I am much more tired of
the ‘Rules are for thee and not for me’ people. We have all seen them on TV. They
make and/or support the mask mandates, then appear in public without a mask. I’m
sick of the public excuses…’I hold my breath for pictures’, or ‘Everyone else
had a mask on’. Wear the friggin’ mask.
When I was
in Egypt, bending and entering pyramids like Carter had done, I realized I
loved to travel, but was not an ‘adventurer’. I don’t want to be ‘the first to
do it’. This is why I so enjoy my Focus
adventures. I always know that Ellie will fix things. Our upcoming Tahiti adventure
is testing even Ellie’s patience. Travel requirements seem to be changing way
too frequently and are not clear to anyone. We know we need to be tested
several times during the trip. We know we will be wearing masks. When and where
we get tested is still be worked out. Who will pay for these tests is still
being worked out. I know it will all come together before we travel and I am
thankful Ellie never lets us down.
