We've vacationed many times in OBX since 2005. This was a family vacation. We rented a house, which was a 10 minutes walk for me, 5 for everyone else. Compared to other vacas there, it was low key. We didn't go out driving and exploring. I wore a mask at the places we went into. (I use KN95, not cute, but they fit and I feel a little more secure than with a cloth mask) I ate one meal away from the house, at a restaurant that offered outside seating. I went into one store to shop and one open air farm market. I wore a mask and toured the Whalehead Club. We drove 10 hours straight to get there, and 10 hours straight to get home, 2 stops each way for food, bathroom, gas and walk the grand dog.

All of my family members, except the youngest grandchild, is vaccinated.

I feel that because so many people aren't vaccinated, we were cheated of many pleasures we enjoyed on our other visits. Since it is NC, I don't mind not spending money there. I'm glad it wasn't Florida.

I notice that more people from other cultures (many Asians) are masking inside and out. It is obvious who is ruining our lives.

We are being civilized and considerate. Just doesn't get the news coverage of loud rudeness Walleye Sep 2021 #1
