Three to five trips in Flu season, of course a new one is out there so off we go for our shots

[LuvOrlando]

We are headed to Northern New England this week DD to midwest, Sharing a big space in Florida during Christmas and then WDW Uni in later winter plus one trip back to PA to see MIL and possibly a trip to DC for a volunteer event in early spring. Now I saw that there is a troublemaker of a new Flu out and about and I DO NOT ever want a repeat of the year I spent our WDW vacation yacking in our room, uggh that was awful, sick on vacation is another level of misery. We all did Covid already, time to suck it up and get the Flu one - I hate being sick, I hate it sooooooo much, so so so much.

just got over the flu myself so it is def around (Western Mass is my area).

headache, fever, body aches, fatigue and lack of appetite... very little 'wet' as far as nose or lungs, but had a cough. Knocked me down for a good 4 days or so. (-) on covid, so blaming flu a/b without any other tests for verification.

I agree being sick SUCKS.

I hear ya…..I hate it too.
I normally never ever get a flu shot, but I did this year because I’m having some surgery on 12/5 and I wanted to do my best to keep me from getting sick.

Do you were a mask on the plane?
My DD22 and I still do, because airplane air grosses me out. It grossed me out before COVID. We wear our masks and our glasses to help keep everyone’s funk from entering through our eyes. Are we paranoid? Maybe, but knock on wood, we’ve never gotten sick during or after our vacations.

Have fun trips and I’ll send you some PD to help keep the funk away from you all

We got ours in Oct. before a trip to Universal Orlando.
We just got back from a cruise......and all is great. Also got Covid shot.
We do not wear masks on a plane.....DH has breathing problems and can't breath with one on.

Have some great trips!!

I do mask on the plane. I don't care what anyone says, I do not want to inhale other peoples gross spit or goo in any kind of way am not looking to be a hero, I just watch other people enough to know they are gross and no thank you.

We prefer the KN95 PowCom because they are most comfortable and I like the little plastic ear mask extender things, the strip kind with the little groves to hold the mask. I also keep an N95 in my bag just in case someone really bad shows up, which did happen to us going to Key West a few years back, a lady got on the plane and sat in DH's row aisle window seat that looked like she needed the ER. Can get a 10 pack at Home Depot.
