I prefer to not leave my partner alone for Thanksgiving (or Christmas), so I’ve been trying to convince him to carpool back home with me if my brother does plan to go back.
My partner suggested to fly, but I mentioned the hassle of having to test ourselves before we head out, test again right before we leave the Bay, and probably test again when we come back (to make sure we didn’t catch anything at the airport).
Even with all the tests for COVID-19, I don’t think I’ve completely convinced him yet to come along with me because the alternative, and original, idea is to drive for just about 10 hours.
There is still time to figure this out, so we shall see whether we’ll have to video chat in on the dinners through screens or if we’ll be able to smell and enjoy the food in person.
