travel during covid

We canceled the FL trip because the stuff was just hitting the fan and the AK trip because the idea of being on a plane at that time was unnerving and we couldn't guarantee getting a COVID test result in time. We also didn't want to get stuck somewhere if the country went into lockdown. At least in a MH you can drive to get where you need to go. We did go to Bar Harbor over July 4th and took just over a week split between the North Woods of NH & the Moosehead Lake region in Maine at the end of August. In early October we spent a long weekend in N. Conway, NH so we didn't stay home. We modified our trips as best we could under the circumstances. Currently we have stopped eating out altogether, with rare exception and do take-out instead. We haven't stopped doing day trips, shopping (non-essential as well) or following our normal routine (guys are still working from home) but will avoid crowded areas or areas where people aren't wearing masks.

It's frustrating to see those that are using an abundance of caution being judged as paranoid. I'll be the first to admit at in the beginning I took a much more casual approach but I do believe the spike in cases is cause for concern. Do what you are comfortable with but don't tell others what they are doing is wrong.
