Now, this is a story all about how I missed my last trip.
I sat down on Christmas and planned my trips for the entire year.
The first order of business was a New Years' day trip to D.C.
Trip number two was an MLK weekend trip to St. Lucia.
How did I manage to mess that up? Pay attention.
I didn't book the first time I saw the ticket. I waited and missed out on a good opportunity.
I got hitched to one airline. Even though Jet Blue and American presented better options, I was adamant about flying Delta. The lesson here is always to go with the better option.
I was indecisive. I made up my mind too late about the trip and tried to plan the trip within three days.
Not understanding the moment. The surge of Omnicron cases has created a backlog on testing centers and I didn't take it into consideration. I got my results literally 3 mins before check-in and decided it wasn't worth the stress.
Being stuck on a destination. There were other options and ones where I didn't need the test. I was so adamant about St. Lucia that I let the opportunity to travel slip by based on having my mindset on what I wanted.
Now, being home on an MLK weekend for the first time in four years seems strange but the rest I got more than made up for it. Always have a plan B in travel just in case plan A doesn't work out.
