Suitcase packed and ready to go... KN95 masks and rapid antigen tests included. Headed off in an hour to the airport for our first flight since January 2020. Can't quite believe it. We're going across the country from east coast to west coast to sunny southern California. I thought I felt ready to get back on the plane, but today, I've been nervous... what if the 3rd person in our row next to my husband and me isn't vaccinated or is one of those people who lets his/her mask slide or claims to be eating/drinking the whole flight so it is ok for the mask to be down around their chin? I wish domestic flights required vaccines like international ones. Sigh... Well, I don't control that or the person who is sitting next to me. So, I'll practice my deep breathing and focus on the upcoming vacation. Wish me luck!
