We are off on an airplane this Sunday. We drive up to my daughter's house on Saturday to spend the night since it is closer to the airport and we can leave our car in her neighborhood. She and her husband are off to dinner and a play and will not have much time to spend with us and the grands have various plans as well. It cannot be helped that they are in the prime of their life!
Hubby is giving a presentation at an international conference in San Diego. We are brave to go to such a large and exposed meeting with people from all over the world. It is good for him to prove to himself that he can still do this and while many will not find his speech important, it is important to him! It is only 10 minutes long with a few minutes allowed for questions and he has been working on it for months! He will print out a copy for me to review and then go down and make changes before I can even read it! He would normally have it memorized by now. I may be the one changing the slides on the screen.
We will be exposing ourselves on long plane flights and then he will be exposed at the meetings. We will be wearing masks and I have packed some quick Covid tests in the event we need them. Sadly we have to go on living our lives and it seems such a small danger compared to places around the world right now that are in the middle of a war.
I hope to meet up with Mage (and George) as well as tour a few places in the city that I have not seen for years. We met as bloggers when they came to my nearby city and then I went to theirs and now I am returning!
I hope to eat in nicer restaurants; I hope to find wonderful things to photograph; I hope to avoid COVID.
After five days we are flying on to Colorado and meeting with family and praying we are not carrying germs to them although several of them have been traveling recently as well.
Life is moving on. I guess it has to or why are we living?
