Vacation Concerns

This Saturday, my wife and I are leaving East TN for Myrtle Beach, SC for a week of vacation even though being retired we are always on vacation.  Our rental condo starts on Sunday so we will get a motel room Saturday in Conway, SC about 30 minutes from the beach so we can spend the full day under the umbrella even though we will not be able to get into our room until 4:00 pm.  We will sign in at the resort so we can have parking and use the restrooms.

We have already decided that our first order of business on Saturday when we get to our motel room is to wear disposal gloves and clean all surfaces that we think we will come into contact as well as put the TV remote in a zip lock baggy.  We will do the same for the condo on Sunday and request that we receive no daily cleaning but will request that towels be left outside our door.

CONCERN:  MB, SC has been recently increasing in its COVID-19 cases and while we are in a safe situation on the beach, we believe that our meals should all be TAKE OUT...  We are also concerned that if we were to visit any of the shopping tourist areas that we maintain social distancing and if we cannot do that, then we should leave.

NO DOUBT...  this will be a new norm even after they discover a vaccine...  but, we cannot let something like this ruin our chances of going on vacation... 

Vacationing Soon in Myrtle Beach, SC

My wife and I have rented a CONDO at MYRTLE BEACH, SC for a week at the end of June and
while we both know that by the end of June most every State will have returned to work and our economy will be chugging along trying to get back to where it was before the Pandemic.  And, with that return to work, Americans (at least theoretically) should be relatively safe and no longer wearing face masks when outside.

HOWEVER:

• What about us OLD and OLDER people?
• Should we all of a sudden feel safe?
• Should we stop wearing face masks?
• What about OLDER PEOPLE who are being treated for CANCER?
• Should we feel safe?

As far as the Myrtle Beach Condo is concerned:

• How do we know how well the maid service cleaned the room?
• Did she clean our room at the beginning of her
  shift or at the end?
• Did she clean our room on a Monday or a Friday?

When, if ever, do people like us ever feel safe after experiencing this PANDEMIC?
