Checking In

by Wendy

We aren’t checking in for flights or checking into hotels, just checking in during this strange situation. A blog could always be considered a form of social distancing, a way to connect with others and communicate over distance. So while we probably won’t have any new travel stories to share for awhile, I wanted to check in and send wishes that everyone is safe, healthy and well.

The other night Jack and I mixed drinks and looked through travel photos for about an hour. In our tiny office we traveled from Beaune to Logrono to London to San Sebastian to Paris to Reykjavik to Barcelona and beyond. Our cat prowled around wondering if his pet humans ever plan to leave the house. We reassured him and each other that this will one day be possible again. Dad has said a great trip is equal parts anticipation, participation and recollection – so two-thirds of that is still in play. We can relive and appreciate past travel. We can dream and look forward to future trips with family and friends, to favorite destinations and journeys to new locales. Take good care, everyone.
