We too have continued to travel throughout the pandemic since March 2020 to places where we could basically isolate (and drive to). We haven't flown anywhere in 2 years (we were lucky and had gone to St Thomas in January 2020)....We are both vaccinated; we are on vacation now for the 3rd time this year to Hilton Head....staying in townhomes/condo's....no elevators or large reception areas. We have also driven to Florida a number of times (private homes/condos). We only eat at outdoor restaurants occasionally (we prefer making our own meals but I feel ok eating at an outdoor venue)....but there are nice outdoor places in Florida and Hilton Head and I order food for pickup at a local grocery near where we'll be staying (I will run into a store with my mask on to pick up a few items)...but I get the major shopping done by the store & just order pickup or delivery for later the night we arrive. While I'd like to make a trip to Europe I'm not comfortable......flying or traveling internationally yet (and don't know when I will). I love walking on the beach, biking, my husband loves to fish, we love sitting on our deck/porch enjoying the view.....we have found we're not missing much....we were never "crowd" people. FREDFLINSTONE.......plan and enjoy your vacations....there are still a lot of places to go safely.We haven't flown anywhere for two years. We cancelled overseas vacations and lost lots of money on trips that we were supposed to take early on during the Covid 19 pandemic. After months of sheltering at home and disinfecting everything in sight, we started to venture out in the fall of 2020, to places we could drive to, and where we felt we could socially distance from others. We asked for ground floor units (didn't want to be in elevators with others - and yes, I realize that may sound paranoid to some) and our requests were always accommodated. We spent a lot of time walking along deserted beaches and mountain trails. We hiked and enjoyed being outdoors. We went to restaurants where we could eat outside, at tables far away from other diners. A bit surprisingly, we became comfortable with the new paradigm. It has been wonderful to feel "normal" during these crazy times. We're taking our first flights this weekend.
