Thankful to be back in La Manzanilla

Posted by david dagoli on November 28, 2020, 6:25 pm

We took the redeye AeroMexico flight out of YVR yesterday, and found the experience to be fairly easy. It seemed like all the other passengers were obeying the rules on masks and social distancing.

There were lots of people at YVR and Mexico Airport, but the numbers were certainly down from normal times.

Our luggage was checked through to ZLO for free, and there was no customs check in CDMX as a result.

We took the necessary precautions, masks and face shields, maintained social distance at all times, sanitized our hands like crazy.

Now we will quarantine here at our house on the beach (just in case) - not a hardship, lol

Great to be back in this beautiful town, we are thrilled!

This photo of CDMX airport shows how few planes were there at 11 am...this is normally one of the busiest airports in the world.

A most excellent post as per your usual, thank you.

Gotta say though the photo of David's mask reminds me of Homer Simpson

I have often said that life is the weirdest thing I have ever done.
Really, can it get much weirder than to see that photo and to realize
we are supposed to call that normal?

I love Homer, so I take that as a compliment.

Just a note: all the airport staff and Airline employees including flight attendants wear face shields. It seems like a good thing, perhaps we should have been doing this all along. We've all been sick from airplanes, even before the Covid mess.

People dressed in plastic shields, some kind of fashion... Shadoobie

It will be interesting to see if the normal Gripa (flu) shows up
this year. We call it the suitcase disease cause the snow birds bring
it from the planes.

I had a friend travel recently who caught a cold.

Canada and Australia have very low number of cases of covid although something is going a little crazy in Canada.

Thank you for quarantining even though it is not the law in Mexico.
It should be in EVERY country!

If you look at Mexico on this really interesting chart you can see that Covid has become the number 1 killer in Mexico.
NOT A GOOD STORY!

Do read it! We must be educated and pay attention!!!

Kinda cool, its like a race, I thought COVID was going to win.
Glad I didn't bet any money.

Edit: That was the default USA stats, COVID does win in Mexico.

Check Belgium, the way COVID is ahead, then behind, then ahead again.
its #1 in deaths per 100,000

Jeepers David, I was going to pass this on to the naysayers on the board but thought better of it. Too much negativity is not a good thing and all that. But so glad you shared it. Meanwhile, happy to hear you arrived safely and are settling in. Not missing much here. Oops, is that too negative, ha, ha.
