Daily Excerpt: Diary of an RVer during Quarantine (MacDonald) - Intro
excerpt from Diary of an RVer during Quarantine (MacDonald) -
Almost overnight, the world has
changed! Well, not really the world so
much, but our place in the world. In the world,
fish are jumping and the cotton is high!
But we
humans no longer seem to be in control of our lives.
In early March 2020, as full-time
RVers, we left our winter resort in Mesa, Arizona and arrived at another in
Tucson, where we enjoyed playing pickleball and golf, hiking in state parks,
visiting an outdoor artisan market, and dining at patio restaurants. Our intent was to meet up with friends in
another week or so in Las Cruces, New Mexico for a golf holiday before heading
back to Canada. Life was good! We were on the road to adventure.
About that time, we started receiving
increasing news reports about the novel Corona Virus (later identified as
COVID-19) infiltrating America. Group
activities – dances, concerts, sports, and parties – were shutting down; bars
and restaurants were closing. Snow Birds
were being encouraged by political leaders to head back home. Disappointed, we cancelled reservations
related to our golf outing and headed north. Upon arriving in British Columbia in
mid-March, the Border Agent advised us to spend 14 days in quarantine to ensure
that we were not infected with the virus. Because of the uniqueness of this pandemic, I
decided to keep a diary of my activities during the two weeks: first, as a permanent record for future
reference and second, to show other RVers that a couple can survive two weeks
confined in a trailer and still remain happily married! Well, married at least!
