It’s one more week before Christmas and I’m so excited! Are you excited? But let’s not forget the true meaning of Christmas. We are celebrating the birth of our saviour, Jesus Christ! Even though this year is different due to the global pandemic, I am still thankful that I am healthy and my family members are healthy. My grandpa who’s eighty years old had a successful heart surgery, and I’m really thankful for that too!

Traveling During A Pandemic in March

It was early Wednesday morning on March twenty-five twenty twenty, and we were just about to head to Canada (If you are wondering why we are heading to Canada, you can read my post titled, “Who I am”). Every thing we needed was packed away in our orange Subaru Crosstrek, and we were ready to go. My parents decided to head back early because of COVID-19. Usually we head back in May, but instead we were going in March. Our Prime Minister Justin Trudeau urged Canadians to come back home. My dad was worried that the borders would close and the gas stations would close then we would be stuck in the United States. Once we took off, we now had a twenty-six hour journey to Canada. We traveled from Florida through Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Washington D.C., Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine. We wore masks and gloves every time we stopped at a gas station just to be safe.
