Canceled a Florida trip scheduled for April and still waiting on a refund.
Canceled a DisneyWorld trip for June and lost deposit.
Booking a week in Florida for ASAP because we want to go to the beach. I can work from anywhere... Would go for longer if I could afford it. The issue is everything is so fucking expensive right now because it is the only kind of vacation that you can do and still claim to be somewhat socially responsible.
Not sure why anyone would have a problem with a family packing up and heading to another house somewhere else where you aren't going to be in contact with anyone else... We just would like a change of scenery and some beach time for the kids. If that makes me a monster (or obtuse), so be it.
As someone else said... This is the new normal. IMO, the curve has been as flattened as it is going to be... At this point, we're just dragging this thing out. Isolate the at-risk, of course... But I think we're just prolonging the inevitable.
Too early for this position, imo. Once rapid testing and effective contact tracing is prevalent, maybe, but we are not there yet. But, I don't have an issue driving with the family to a VRBO house for a week to get away this summer -- you're just not going to see us at the beach.
