Well, we’re vaccinated now. Yippee! Of course we’re aware the pandemic isn’t over, but the vaccines are effective, COVID contagion is way down, and it seems folks might responsibly start venturing out and doing a few things again. Non-essential travel probably isn’t one of those things. On top of that, for our next major excursion we’re hoping to tour the Maritime Provinces, and travel to Canada is still not possible for Americans.
However, as much as it’s been a tough 14 months for everybody, it’s been tougher still for seniors in assisted living facilities. Sue’s mom lives in such a place and is long overdue for a visit, so we’ve packed up the quarantine-mobile and we’re heading south to spend a little time with her in Florida, returning back home before it gets too hot for us down there. It will be a shorter trip than previous ones, and we’ll see how it unfolds.
And just like that, we’re off on a new adventure. It feels a little weird…
Hello Destinators!
Glad to hear you are on the road again!
We did our first trip of the season last weekend where we met up with Paul and Michele Gaboury for our first indoor social event! This coming weekend we are going to Stump Sprouts for a much reduced Vaccine Bubble weekend. Only about a dozen of us, but it will be nice to light the flame on the old tradition again.
Last summer we stayed pretty close to home but this year we have plans for many weekends away in our van finishing off with three weeks in the ‘Dacks.
It is funny that you are in SC, because there is a band that has stolen your name and they are Charleston based! https://www.thedestinatorsband.com/
Take care!

Hi Chris, thanks! Hope you all have a great time at Stump Sprouts, we’ll be thinking of you.
I have run across the band before. We’ve had the name for longer, although I think they’re building quite a rep for themselves. Maybe we’ll need a disambiguation page if we all get a little more famous.
