Three weeks from today, at about this time, we will be boarding the plane for Miami where we will be making our connection to our flight to Liberia, Costa Rica. We have been planning this trip for months. We booked our first lodging - the one in Atenas - in September. For a long time, we thought this trip would never get here. We were like children waiting for Christmas. But suddenly, takeoff is only three weeks away, and we still have a lot to do.
And now our first challenge has appeared. It's flu season, and a few days ago I came down with it. Today, it appears that Bob is coming down with it too. This despite the fact that we both did have flu shots a few months back. Although we are both relatively healthy seniors, this flu does present some challenges, especially for Bob. And, as many travelers know, it can be painful to fly when you have any kind of cold, flu, or other respiratory problem. As I said to Bob, "This could be a good thing. We got this bug early in January. We'll both be recovered by flight time, and we'll have extra immunity." Let's hope I'm right!
