canyonwalkerThis afternoon Hawk and I booked flights for a trip in June. This is a trip to the east coast we booked and rebooked a few times last year and ultimately canceled. Two friends "getting married" in New York, and in addition to joining their celebration we'll enjoy a week of personal travel ourselves. Among other things we'll notch another bucket list item by visiting Acadia National Park in Maine.
BTW I quote "getting married" because our friends already are married. I know because I said the magic words and signed the legal paperwork. And we made the news. But that was a small, civil ceremony, and they (and their parents) want a big, traditional, religious ceremony. That's coming in June. The fourth time's a charm!
This trip in June— assuming it doesn't get canceled due to further Coronavirus woes— will break my long period of being grounded. The last time I set foot aboard an aircraft was last February. Just a week after that businesses started shutting down non-critical travel. Widespread lockdowns followed a few weeks later. By June my grounded streak will have run to almost 16 months. After all this time I worry I'm out of frequent flyer shape. I'll see in a few months how long it takes to regain my sea legs— er, air wings!
UPDATE: My grounding ended a month earlier. After posting this blog in March with June plans, a month later we planned a last-minute trip to eastern Washington and Idaho in May.
