Travel in the time of Covid adds a degree of stress to an already stressful process.
- Get your Covid test before you fly in the proscribed time - usually very short
- Fill out the country specific disclosure documents for travel
- Upload your test results and forms to the airline
- Curse mightily as you realize your upload was not successful and you can't check-in
- Re-upload your documents and finally succeed in checking in
- Now get back to your packing which as always you've delayed and are now rushing through
- Reserve your Uber to get you to the airport tomorrow
- Collapse into an exhausted sleep
- Wake up to 19 texts on your WhatsApp account telling you that 3 out of 4 members of the #3 household have tested positive for Covid!
- Get on line with the airline and see if there is any way to change your flight for a week later. Sure there is. If you want to pay $10k more!
- Realize that this trip isn't going to happen. Cancel the flight
- Mourn

We are still sad here. Sick with Covid, some of us, but also sad. I bought the kids ice cream today in your honor but we will not get waffles! It wouldn't be the same.
Oh no, that is so disappointing!
