We hit Chick-Fil-A on the way home. ;) And I had some Girl Scout cookies waiting for her.

Interestingly, Chick-Fil-A drive thru was a well-oiled machine . An entire team of well-organized, helpful employees getting cars through fast & accurately. All tricked-out with tablets. I know this sounds crazy but I was thinking "THIS is the kind of thing that reminds me we WILL survive, adapt and beat this thing". American ingenuity was at work.

@Cornell So glad to hear she's safely home. I bet you took a huge Mom sigh of relief. So, what did she think of her car? :D

@Luanne -- She's beyond thrilled.. We went out driving a bit ago and I'm surprised how well she did at it. I thought she would need to completely re-learn to drive.

I was happy to see the improved news about your DH. Keep the faith.
My younger dd didn't drive for several years. She had her license, and a car, then went off to school in Canada and didn't need the car. When she started driving again she was a bit nervous (she's a nervous driver anyway). So I took her out a few times. She said she was surprised how it came back to her.

Thanks for the words about my dh. He is feeling much better, on some new meds and monitoring his blood pressure a couple of times a day.

I'll bet if you were in California, you would have hit three In-N-Outs on the way home. When my son was going to school in Boston, he craved "real" burritos from local taco shops!

First of all TUG family, I thank you for your humor , support, and concern. During this tough times, it really does help.

As an aside to all of this, there is a ton of discussion going on with AFS (exchange program) families (AFS has kids exchanged all over the world, including kids from other countries here in the US and "families" are host families and natural / biological families). AFS officially suspended their programs a few days ago and is working to get kids sent home from all over the world. They are very slow moving to do this in my opinion -- lots of kids still don't have air reservations and the anxiety is very great among certain kids, particularly those in countries where borders are shutting , even to nationals. I personally am of the opinion (obviously) that kids need to go home to their natural families. I think it's a huge burden on host families right now . But there are other AFSers that are firm in their belief that kids should not be traveling right now.

Interesting times.

I know it is a burden on the Host Families but I would feel horrible sending a Kid Home to Italy and other high hit areas.

Good. Canada did the same 2 days ago after asking us last week to come home "while we could". Monday Canada's #2 airline WESTJET announced no more flights to USA after March 22. Air Canada will continue a reduced schedule to only 4 European cities and 13 USA cities. USA airlines will eventually refocus domestic as well. Southwest said no schedule changes until June 6.
