Traveling

 If you time your vaccines to when you want to travel to see your children and grandchildren you have to think about it some. For example, if you are doing Pfizer shots for example, you get your 2nd shot 3 weeks after the first one. Then 14 or 15 days after that you are ready to travel to visit your kids or grandkids or both (or wherever you want to travel to). I'm not planning to fly anywhere unless I'm going to Hawaii or Europe or elsewhere off the North American Continent the next couple of years. why?

Because this thing isn't completely over and I'm 72 and still have to be careful of variants. However, I can drive anywhere to any of the Mainland U.S. states I want to visit and could even visit Alaska if I wanted to for example, without worrying about the dangers of flying in a passenger plane anywhere. For younger people this might not be as much of an issue if they have no health concerns. I have thought seriously about getting another motor home or camper for my Truck like an Alaskan Camper but realized that my wife would not be comfortable doing that at 65. So, even a Bambi Airstream (which she loves the idea of) might not be that useful for us and instead we likely will stay at friends homes or hotels instead. 

So, each of us is going to have to figure out the next steps to take in our lives given all the variables of each of our lives here on earth.

I likely will go (after the middle of April when my wife and I will be fully immunized from the original variant of Covid) to Portland to see my son and his family and my daughter and her room mate there because we haven't seen our daughter now in over a year because of Covid.

So, each of us have to figure out what we can literally live with while traveling to visit the people we most care about in our lives. This is the new normal we have all reached now even with a vaccine on board.
