That crowd hasn't done anything in 2 years anyway, and tbh, I finally after not taking a vacation in 3 years pulled the trigger and booked a 1 week vacation down in Georgia this summer. It's been 3 years and I've done my time and played by the rules, only to get it 2-3 times while being fully boosted and wearing a mask while not going anywhere, so I'm choosing to move on relatively responsibly and I'm going to take a vacation to a place with a pool and a beach. I'm over it all at this point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not gonna fly, not doing dumb ish, but you’ve gotta live your life. With things VRBO and such there’s no more risk than being at home. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to drive the 11 and 1/2 hours down there, we literally got a VRBO place for $1,100 for a full week (pool there and the beach is 1/5 of a mile away), and we're going to have fun and make it work. I can't live like this anymore to this extent, and neither can my family. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't live like this anymore to this extent, and neither can my family. We did that twice in 2020, worked out really well. Literally no other contact with folks than what you’d get being at home doing your daily stuff. We did an 18 day road trip in July/August to a bunch of places and stayed in traditional hotels. No issues, but covid was pretty mild (comparatively) at that particular time. We ate out (often at off hours or outside), wore masks when we were in somewhat crowded situations, etc. No real issues. Some minor inconveniences (couldn’t swim a time or two as the pools were crowded), masks, etc., but beats the pants off just sitting at home. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I came to the realization that I can either be outside here at home or outside in Georgia. I'm not going to Disney (for a lot of reasons), so the pool and beach sounded good to me. Hopefully the weather holds. I'm dreading the long car ride with kids, but we'll see. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The car ride isn’t as bad as you’re expecting. If you’re doing all 11 in one day, I’d start early and break it up. A couple hours at a time max. Drive, breakfast, drive, lunch, drive, see something cool/walk around, drive, dinner, drive. Definitely don’t pack a cooler and see who has the biggest bladder. (And when I mention a meal, I mean get out and go in and eat. Eat a at a local spot, something unique. It’s more memorable than you’d think). If possible, plan to leave the night before. Even if you just drive 3-4 hours it can make the next day a LOT more tolerable. I generally won’t do more than 9 hours planned in a day and even those start to get miserable. I know some folks can drive all day, we can’t. My dad (at like 84) drove from Dallas to Canton in one day. That’s like 16-17 hours. That’s a 2-3 day drive for me. There’s stuff to see and do along the way that’s usually worth the time. Where in GA? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s supposed to be 5 days for people who are asymptomatic and they still need to be wearing masks 5 days afterwards. But yeah, I only knew because of this thread (thanks @Deadpulse!) and following up more afterwards. So yeah, definitely confusing messages.

If I can do this again, I like the idea of a sit down breakfast, then drive a couple hours and maybe see if we can hit up a park and let the kids play, maybe even getting lunch and taking it to the park for a picnic.

You can be positive, and symptomatic as long as you don’t have a fever and your symptoms are improving (which is a sketchy arse gray area). https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/your-health/quarantine-isolation.html At that point you can end isolation and wear a mask. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your kids are younger so stories of murders and missing people may not work, but if you’re the only one who’s awake… 9 minutes ago, MWil23 said: St. Simon's Island I've never been but heard it's great. Ever been? We stopped by Jekyll island for lunch once, which is just a few miles away. It’s a pretty area for sure. I have a buddy whose wife’s family goes there every year. I can’t imagine it not being nice. GA in the summer can be brutally hot, but if the idea is just swimming and relaxing I personally couldn’t care less. Savannah is a cool city, lots of history. Most importantly you can see the spot Forest Gump sat in Chippewa Square near the fountain at Forsyth Park. Really pretty area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah, this is absurd. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
