I just booked next Christmas as yesterday was my 11 months out and made the mistake of posting on FB and the warnings/ flak I got .. let’s say I’m taking a FB break. I reassured everyone I have cancelled 5 vacations previously and will again if needed and I’m not out running around maskless , kissing strangers and licking elevator buttons. That i am educated , and a HCP ..who is reminded daily by her employer that if I get covid they all die, while homeschooling two kiddos since September one with autism and trying to keep track of my two older kids and meet their increased mental health needs . The pressure is immense . I need something simply to look forward to and I’m starting to feel if by next Xmas that’s 2 years since the pandemic started , if we haven’t got it under control by then .. maybe it simply won’t go away .
I get it. The pressure is getting to me right now as well. We were supposed to be on a trip last March break and that's when everything locked down. I, like everyone, thought it would be over soon. Then it wasn't. Still it isn't. I have a cruise booked for this December, to replace the one we were supposed to be on last December. I want it to be a back to back but no one can say if that will be possible. I am tempted to book Disney or Universal for at least a week, as a back up. I really hope the vaccine will help improve things.
