The Quarantined Life: Are We There Yet?

From where I am, the airplanes landing on the nearest airport are only sweeper flights from other airports to bring home the stranded locals. And I won't even dare visit the closest airport even if it's just 20 minutes away.😱

This pandemic has turned 2020 into a really bad year for the travel and tourism industries because no one wants to move around, much less fly.

It's summer, and this time last year, everyone was on a plane, a bus, a car, a ship and a train headed to another adventure.

Just like you, I have wondered when I would be able to fly to another place to discover new culture, learn interesting heritage and most important, try new and yummy flavors and cuisines again. 😍

Whenever I was on a plane on a journey to discover new places, I would constantly check the TV screen for the flight details such as the distance and expected time to arrive at our destination, like these photos I took of the in-flight information showing the our plane's route and our flight's estimated time to arrive on one of my flights.

But in these difficult times, we could hardly tell the expected time all these would blow over so we could fly and travel again.

But until then, we can just helplessly ask, "Are we there yet?" 😢

And to all the pilots, flight attendants, ground staff, mechanics and maintenance team, food and catering staff, luggage handling, and everyone in the airline industry, hang in there. We will be flying with you soon! 😎
