JRL81 Posted November 4, 2021 Author #205 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Surprisingly this airport isn’t nearly as packed as I was expecting! Last time I was here this place was a mad house. How times have changed that from car to gate including security took less than 20 minutes. I’m going to savor this because I know dang well that this isn’t going to last! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRL81 Posted November 4, 2021 Author #208 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Some of the shops and eateries around the airport are still closed. It seems from what the bartender said due to staffing they open them up in shifts.. that way something is open all the time. It is really sad to see, there use to be several options any time of day now they try to keep a balance of styles and types just to keep going. She said she works here this afternoon then at another restaurant down the terminal tonight… she says it has nothing to die with mandates either she said plain and simple people don’t want to work! They want to stay home and make more money that way! It’s a sad sad situation! These people are busting their bottoms! I can honestly say I have yet to encounter one angry or surly person everyone seem to be thankful that they are out and about again! Austin has recently lifted some of its more stringent policies and you can tell the locals are happy! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRL81 Posted November 4, 2021 Author #209 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Call me old fashioned.. buts shoes and CLOTHES should be worn in PUBLIC… what is with this new trend of yoga pants and sports bras in public let alone the airport!! I can not even say how many I have seen. And shoes.. for the love of all that is holy please, PLEASE, wear shoes!!! Flip flops, crocks, etc have no buisness in airports or on planes… if I have to sit beside stinky feet I think I may hand them a fabuloso wipe and tell them get after it!!! 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRL81 Posted November 4, 2021 Author #211 Share Posted November 4, 2021 First duck of the cruise has been “hidden” and then “found”.. I was talking to the young couple next table over from and discussing our destinations etc. when I found out they were suppose to be on the SAME cruise as me this week!! But do to the blasted CDC regulations their sweet daughter couldn’t go and the wait list for exemptions was long so they canceled..Now I have a soft spot for the little ones so while dad kept her busy I swiftly placed the duck between her iPad and her snack box.. it was soooooo worth it the smile on her face!!! She said but mom this ain’t a ship!?!?! I told her but you are getting on an airplane and that’s traveling too!! So take care of him and decide if you want to hide him in your next trip or keep him! When there boarding was called she was still undecided but at the age of 4 I’m not surprised 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRL81 Posted November 4, 2021 Author #214 Share Posted November 4, 2021 (edited) This is a peacemaker another Austin beer works ale. Now this one I think is my favorite so far. Very very smooth, a light hop taste nothing on the backside you don’t taste on the front. This a very very good beer. 10 out of 10 shot Edited November 4, 2021 by JRL81 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less than 2 hours and I had results we are good to go @JRL81 I'll be in Austin on Christmas Eve and need to get a test for our Dec 26th cruise... what did you ask for when making your appointment at Walgreens? I called them and although I couldn't make the appointment yet they said the only options available at Walgreens in Austin were the tests that take 3-5 days! I've got 2 days! So I want to make sure I ask for the right test and be certain I'll get the results the same day... also did your insurance pay for it? Our alternative is the proctored home test which will cost us over $100... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did state I had a medical issue and was a smoker, and then when it gave option to choose test type I chose the “red” which is the rapid test. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My son found a duck in our last cruise. He was 13 at the time but it was cute as he was still surprised and happy.

There wasn’t even a line and other than my eyes watering I’ll survive.. I think.., now breakfast Ugh. Done with the PCR tests. How many have you had to do this pandemic?
