Anything Goes

I’m relaxing while listening to some lively tunes from Willie Colon. The SF skies are promising a little rain but that’s coming a little later. We could use some. Bring it.

Over here it’s a countdown to the October London trip. Joel will be flying to San Francisco (from Vegas) overnight then we are on a big bird flying across the pond on a non-stopper. Garry is not ready to get on a flight so Delta set him up with an ecredit, which is a nice way of saying: we don’t want to give you the money back.

The curveballs are beginning to happen. Delta / Virgin shutting down our return flight (not enough people?) and putting us on a plane that would give us an extra day in London. I immediately requested a change in my Airbnb for another day. Meanwhile, we are trying to move Joel’s seat but it can’t be done on the Virgin site so a phone call on their time zone is required.

All in all, I’m happy we didn’t make the COVID test appointments yet (UK side) as they’ve announced some changes that I have to find out about. The best advice I can give to anyone planning international travel today is to stay on top of things and be flexible (if you can) because anything goes.

It looks like Brits are tired of losing out on tourist money so now they are easing things early in October. It may translate into taking a cheaper COVID test coming back. We will see.

If we actually get to do it, it’ll be my first international trip since the world went COVID. London is making more sense as the first travel leap since before the lockdown. I feel comfortable there, the theatre, the museums, and all the great city walking. 

We will be double masking for theater. #suttonfoster
