We’ve been finalising our long-awaited trip to the US to see our children. It’s been years since we last saw them. Zoom and Whatsapp are all very well but not the same. But why does everything have to be so difficult? I’m still so tired from the lingering effects of Bell’s Palsy, so solving travel restrictions is like climbing a mountain. The US CDC entry rules still state that we must have a pre-departure Covid test within one day of travel but everyone interprets that differently. Because of past traffic delays, we like to stay overnight in an airport hotel. But if we take the test before we leave home, some say that’s more than one day even though the US site says that’s ok as it would still be within one calendar day! Being a worrier I can’t risk being refused at check in, so I’m attempting to reserve a test at the airport the evening before. But some say the results take 24h! Hopefully a company there called Randox can give us a LF result in 60 minutes, but too soon yet to reserve the exact time and day I need, they say. And then there’s the 7 hour flight. A holiday’s supposed to be pleasure and relaxation…
I’ll just have to visualise the idylls of our destination. Not too long now.
