When I was a little girl , travelling by air was not common and was something everyone looked forward to having an opportunity to experience. When you did get the privilege to travel , you were the envy of all and looked at differently. Even put in a higher class sometimes. Now you the traveler felt like you were living your best life , the ambiance was great , the food , the drinks the whole airport environment, friends and family who came to see off , your luggage , the airs around you was simply sweat. Then all that changed and travelling simply became another means of transportation, it lost the fanfare, the beauty and much more, but our lives also changed , we got busy and functioned in a fast paced environment. Fast forward to current travel times.
All has changed , now instead of rushing you must slow down , middle seats are left open , wearing a mask is almost more important than having a ticket or an ID card . People no longer rush to stand up and get their things from the overhead bins , since you must wait for the person ahead of you to complete that process and be 6feet away from you , before you can proceed. Checking of COVID status information before venturing out to nay location. Oh lets not forget the looks you get if you dare to clear your throat or sneeze , you just might clear the room ha ha.
It is a different experience traveling in this pandemic times , but we can add this to our life experience to tell the folks that come behind in the future.
Mask up and be safe!!
