Spring is in the air.  You can feel the first warm breezes, the sun on your face, and the fresh smell of Spring.  My favorite day of this season is the first day I can walk out the door without a coat.  No more boats, scaves, gloves, or winter coat.  Can the capri's and flip flops be far behind?  

If you have a secret desire to get in your car and drive south until you see a flower blooming, then you're my people.

But alas, we cannot drive south of the broder in search of flowers blooming.  We can't even drive to the southern tip of Ontario, where I'm sure the tulips are cresting out of the earth, because we can't cross  lockdown zones.

We aren't making these journey's because we respect the regulations and most of all, we have a healthy respect for a virus that has deadly consequences.  We respect it, and we are "Adulting" throught it.  Being adults about it.

But those of us with wanderlust in our hearts are finding it very hard to be adults right now.  Spring is in the air! It makes us want to do crazy things, like travel.  I miss travelling.  Recently, I was travel shamed for suggesting vaccines would give us the safety to travel.  Travel Shamed!   Wow!  It's a first for me.  I've never been publically called out for my profession before.  I've always been so proud of it.  I love what I do for a living.  Helping poeple discover the best vacation or vist a sick loved one, or make the last trip of a lifetime memorable.  It's my job to keep you safe.  To prepare you and advice you for a smooth, safe trip.

By the way, noone is getting on a plane, and I'm not suggesting that any time soon.  That's my Adult advice.  The wanderlust child in me wants to have fun.  I want to walk on the beach and feel sand between my toes.  I want to sit on a balcony with a cocktail and watch the sunset over the ocean.    I want to sit on a plane and watch the ground beneath me disappear as we take off.  I want to step off the plane onto the tarmack and feel the blast of hot air.

And until we can experience all of those things, I want to walk out my door without a coat and smell spring in the breeze.

Thanks for letting me vent.
