Chill at home and stay safe

I would normally say ski, no doubt. Our west or up in VT/ME, preferably it west. However, this year there is a whole reservation process for ski days, and sounds like a PIA. I’m likely skipping the mountains this year for the first time since I graduate college.

Ski in VT. Buy your passes now (most places make you pick the days you ski in advance) and rent a car.

Chilling at home and unplugging. Getting good candles and food, upgrading bedding and little things around the house, and making it a more luxurious staycation!

I’m headed to the beach 😎

My American citizen 8 month old is on tourist visa in India; current stay runs out on June 7. Flying outside the country is a risk we don’t want to take w/COVID. Don’t want to overstay the visa either. So we applied online on eFRRO to convert his visa to X-1 so we can apply for his OCI. They didn’t ask for payment and message popped up saying watch your text/email for next steps. Anything else I can do?
