So I few to Fort Lauderdale yesterday, burning my last 100k Delta miles. Arrived about 9;30, rented a car and I was quite a way down the Keys when my SIL called to tell me my brother, who was also there at my uncle's house, just tested covid positive. Swell. No way i can be around them and then fly home Saturday, by which time I'd be very contagious if I caught it. I think they're all going to get it.
Luckily my adopted mom lives in Ft Myers, so I called her and she was glad to have me. It worked out, but I drove around a whole lot of Florida yesterday. That's what I got for Cats' birthday.

Thanks, Cats. They are all doing ok, brother has light case, SIL starting to come down with it. I suspect all the others will get sick too since they were in close proximity.

I dunno, God could have let you get there one day earlier...

Indeed. Dodged a virus, and still had a good time. That's better than getting sick while away from home, or bringing it back to your lovely bride. I say you are fortunate to skip that. Give yourself a bourbon to congratulate yourself for a good call.
