If you are not one of Fauci's flock this is a great time to travel. I get free air but the hotels and airfare are super cheap. In the last 9 months we have traveled all over and done jiu-jitsu tournaments in Florida and Texas. We have also been to Colorado, Oregon and Arizona. My only regret was missing 2 weeks in Mexico. We have went to Texas so many times we are currently looking for a house in the Fort Worth area. So nice to go to the Ice House and listen to some live music and be normal. I hope you guys are having a great holiday with the people that matter the most. Go Chiefs!!!! [Reply]
Just had to cancel a Mexico trip I had planned for the end of February. They are now saying you have to get tested on the resort and be negative to be allowed back in the country, and when you return it is a mandatory 7 day quarantine, even if you were negative. Just too much of a potential risk with the job. It was nice to actually look forward to a each getaway. Fuck you, China. [Reply]

We were supposed to go to Bonaire last summer. Was hoping to use our flight credits to go somewhere this year but with the new protocols I guess we are going to USVI. [Reply]

Nice, that's a good backup plan when all else fails.
Maybe I should put some effort into checking out if there are any deals to be had in the USVI.... [Reply]

Good to see you old friend. Hope you are well. I am just spending time flying to Texas now trying to buy a killer pad. Timing could be better. They are calling it a cash offer California market for the good stuff. Gotta get out of the Peoples Republic. [Reply]

I'll be interested to see how, and how stringently, they enforce the return quarentine. [Reply]

Good point. I'm sure it's a "highly recommended" thing right now, but how is that going to play with employers when their workers get an extra week of vacation because the gubmint decrees it and they haven't tested positive? And like you said, how in the world will they enforce that? [Reply]

there is no longer a federal mandate to provide PTO for coronavirus absences. People would have to take vacation or sick leave as their policies allow [Reply]

As somebody who Teleworks, it's not an issue, but for others this is going to suck. [Reply]
