I'm happy for you. Both my wife and I are fully vaxed. Four of my 
friends have died, others have suffered from long COVID. I have health 
vulnerabilities, and so do my friends. Do you? How old are you? CDC says 
those of us over 70 are at greater risk. I'm 82, she's 2 years younger. 
She and I are enjoying life, and want to continue to do so. Years ago, I 
made a trip to the Caribbean with K4BAI, KU8E, and N3ZZ. I enjoyed it, 
but it wasn't cheap. And I wouldn't consider it safe to do it today.
