I hope we made a mistake as I am a firm believer on getting back and spending and traveling.

But, for the first time in this pandemic, we now know several people who have it, and are having a tough time breathing literally. Not in the hospital, but just not enough breath to walk around the house or go up stairs.

These are people who are pretty careful, but somehow got it.

College age child knows several people her age sick in quarantine at school.

Biggest Issue though.

We would have arrived on Tuesday 29 Dec.

We would have to get a test Thursday Christmas Eve, have Christmas on Friday and hope the lab people are working Sat/Sun/Mon and get negative results and uploaded and all.

Too much to make sure all goes right. Didnt want to lose lodging by cancelling within 30 days.

We learned after Irma, that 18 months between visits was actually better as you miss it a little more.

This would have been 3 SXM Newd Years in a row.

Bummer.

But we are going to Florida instead for longer time and none of the worry.
