Week by week, life seems as though it's getting back to a new normal. Yesterday, Jay and I had our second COVID vaccinations and although ours won't have completely kicked in yet, when others catch up, it may help lock in the feelings of normalization.
We can already explore BC again and that was not encouraged last summer.
I'm not so sure what will happen this winter. Many times, by this point in the year, we already have flights and Airbnb reservations. However, when we first plunged into early retirement in October 2014, we didn't have definitive plans. And last year, pretty much at the last moment, we ended up fairly close in Playa del Carmen and Mazatlan, Mexico.
So for the winter of 2021-22, we are pretty sure we will be able to pick up and go whenever and wherever we wish. That is surely a sense of freedom some never get the opportunity to experience.
