Yep, we are back home on the range, right where we were a year ago. We drove up to Charlotte on Saturday where flights to Denver are cheaper and more frequent than from Myrtle Beach and took SouthWest to Denver via Nashville on Sunday. The airline did a good job of requiring masks on the packed flights. “Mask-avoiders” were very much in evidence in both Charlotte and Nashville but we felt pretty safe now that we are fully-vaccinated.
