    No and no, I’ve had some time off of work since the pandemic started,  but I will wait to travel until there‘s a reliable vaccine. The thought of sleeping in a hotel right now skeeves me out, worse than it did even before this whole thing started.

    I have always been bad with hotels... I take my own sheets and pillows whenever possible....but even my own bedding wouldn't help me sleep with all the germs out there now. Gross Covid  koodies, blah.

    No and No. We never go on vacations anyway.

    I've never travelled in the first place. This isolation thing is easy when you were doing it before it became a thing.

    Yes. I have traveled for business and pleasure this summer. 
    Will be traveling later this month. We bring Lysol and spray everything down.  No one has gotten sick.

      No. 

    My wife, her brother, and I traveled to The Philippines during all of February this year, returning here to the States on the last day of that month.  Within two weeks after our return, the shutdowns began, and a week later, my job became a part-time work-from/the-office/work-from-home setting. My wife’s job sent her home, and for the first time in her life, she had to apply for unemployment. Two months after that, I was placed on mandatory (early) retirement. 

      So we have not vacationed morning traveled since the pandemic began.

      You?

    No, I haven't and wouldn't, unless it was for an emergency of a loved one.

  • I wouldn't by any means want to head in to a current hot spot but my family still plans to do our long weekend beach getaway in a couple weeks.  It's typically a pretty quiet area we stay in so distancing won't be a problem.  However as far as lodging goes we will be at the mercy of the people that hopefully cleaned the place good.

    Bring your own Lysol and spray everything when you get there.

  • I have no doubt that my wife will have an entire arsenal of disinfectants. She'll probably have a Lysol tank strapped to her back with an industrial sprayer.
