1. I was thinking of a trip to the UK before.

Not going anywhere now this year. Need to get rid of the Pig first.

2. Vaccine (not any way related to drumpf) then travel.

That's what I am waiting for, before we venture out. We both want to travel so badly we can taste it - but how do you trust anyplace to do the safety procedures they advertise? I am thinking we should get a small used travel van and get out to the remote areas, but the issue is - would it be safe and how many people would actually be there and will they be taking safety precautions or just partying?

So, for now, we sit at home, walk around the neighborhood with our dog, and get take out. We had gone to a couple of restaurants for lunch and there were few people and we felt safe because we know the owners. However, when we went to a place with the family (1 time, 6 people) the place wasn't socially distanced and was at full capacity and it was raining so we couldn't go outside to eat. No one got sick, thankfully, but we did get a scare and haven't been out since then because CV is surging here in FL.
