Getting tested at the resort to come back to US tomorrow and saw a woman get told she is positive and her trip is now extended 10 days. Kinda freaky to watch. Luckily passed. My first ever COVID test!
not to make too much out of this, but needing to be tested was a not-completely-trivial source of time loss and stress. all in all, i would say that i was surprised at how much covid-related friction was layered into the travel experience. oh, and i think saw/heard like five or six people being kept off flights while in the airport or on a plane. like, it was not an uncommon thing! at least to observe.
that said, still kind of a good time to be traveling. lack of crowds and what not. our transatlantic flights were pretty empty.
