I don’t mind taking a covid test 72 hours before getting on the plane. But we’re trying to visit schools in New York and, even with a negative test pre-flight, they still require 3 days of quarantine, then another negative test (which I assume will take anywhere from 1 - 3 days to get the test results back). So right now, I’m looking at spending 4-6 nights quarantined in a hotel waiting for the results of the 2nd test. Only then, IF it’s positive, can we then go and visit the school – which, lol, only takes 1-2 days?! NOT blaming NY. Their travel restrictions make sense. Just that it’s so hard for these kids…it’s literally every little thing. I guess the positive is that we’re still 100% at home and virtual for school. So when we get back home, it’ll be no problem quarantining at home. Ohhh, the silver linings.
Fortunately my senior is still engaged with the college process (as far as wanting to visit the colleges that she gets into, etc.). But she’s been completely checked out of school ever since winter break. I hear her video gaming with her friends pretty much every day now, sometimes before lunch?! Thankfully she’s already been accepted to a few of her top choices!
