Cancun,... felt safer there than here

Flew to visit my family in Canada, everyone in business class seemed to be pretty good about wearing masks so the experience was alright. Mandatory quarantine with parents for 14 days is another story lololol

Worst thing was losing priority boarding and having to endure overall mayhem due to Covid checks at the gate: they board by seat row with no priority lane, and check documentation and (if applicable) Covid test results as they scan your boarding pass, so even when they call your group of rows you’ll still stand in line for a while; the average airline passenger is an idiot, so obviously they will bury all the paperwork deep in their carryon or give it to the last person in line of the group... the usual charade.

Upside is that TSA is so empty they don’t even bark at you (I know, right?)

Traveled to Europe for a medical reason. My clinic provided a letter requesting my entry to the country explaining the reason. Letter was reviewed in the US before boarding the plane and at immigration at my destination. Luckily no mandatory quarantine. Had to wear my mask for almost 12 hours except when eating or drinking (during uber ride to airport, at the airport, on the plane, in the taxi to my hotel).

Can I just vent on how annoyed I am with the increase in “priority boarding” of people that are able bodied? I am happy to let them on first. But I think they should get off last. So many times they are limping or in a wheelchair boarding. And then when we land that are the first to jump up and scurry off. Just not ethical.

Guy who very very vaguely resembles Tom Hanks insists he isn't. Then I keep insisting he is.

This is a fun way to pass time during layovers.
