November-December roll call

[bhoffdhoff]

I am sad. I had to cancel. Covid is soaring in Minnesota and Wisconsin, and my gut was telling me very, very loudly not to go. So I am following my gut. The minute that we get some kind of vaccine or antidote, I will be on a plane there, though! (This seems really promising: https://www.biospace.com/article/ine...-human-trials/).

In the meantime, I will be visiting this forum and living vicariously.

I feel your pain! We've rescheduled 3 times since March. They say three times the charm. I hope so!

Yea where is Amy's review I'm sure she is there now having a blast. Wednesday's is happy hour Manager Cocktail at Amsterdam Manor for guest only which I crashed my last trip by mistake. LOL. I had an awesome time and drinks were like $2 bucks with free appetizers being passed around..

Oh man, Bhoff, that has to be painful!!!! I just rebooked for April 16 through 25 (added a day to make up for my disappointment of cancelling this trip.) I sure hope we have a vaccine by then or cases have plummeted. On a positive note: I finally got reservations at Fred Restaurant, so there's that at least.

They've just closed down all indoor dining in Minnesota and are begging people not to travel anywhere over Thanksgiving, so I feel like I've made a good choice. Plus, my kitty was diagnosed with diabetes in September. Even though his sitter knows how to give shots and all of that, I feel better staying home right now for that reason, too.

Just returned after 3 wonderful weeks. In the process of planning a work-cation sometime in Feb. or March for at least a month since I am not returning to my office anytime soon and can work anywhere.

Everything went smoothly from testing prior to arrival to new measures taken by hotels, restaurants, and stores to keep everyone safe. The island is quiet but it was great seeing friends again and being able to get together with people (not in a party situation, but 4 to a table max over drinks and dinners.) Luckily, most things in Aruba are outside so it was easy to social distance. Had a nice upgrade to one of the penthouse suites at Amsterdam Manor and had my own personal bartender most of the time since there were occasions that it was just me before my husband arrived a few days later.

I moved posts that came after post #45 into its own thread in the Airline category.
It went too far off topic here in roll call.
