Mr. & Mrs. Vandebilt + kids

Late last week we realized we only had a few days left in the tropics and decided that wasn’t enough for us. We did some quick research and decided to shift all our flights around and fly to Florida instead of home. We bad everything all set – flights changed, Airbnb booked, we even had a car ready! The MacPhees were just finishing up their time in Florida and had their car there that we could pick up. We hadn’t told the girls yet – they asked for it to be a surprise but Charlie wanted to know. Once he found out he started doing us own research and was in the process of attempting to persuade us to take him to Harry Potter world (for his school work).

Then. Sunday happened.

Jacob wasn’t feeling 100% on Saturday but he thought it was just allergies or a bad coil in his cigarettes. But on Sunday when he felt worse he decided to take one of the rapid tests we brought from home. It turns out Covid can find you on vacation too.

Fast forward to today, which should be our last day in Dominican and instead we have moved to the villa next to us and the kids are all being tested after more positive rapids. I tested positive yesterday. We are all feeling relatively ok. Jacob is basically back to normal, the kids have slight headaches, I had a bad night but am feeling a bit better today.

We will ride this out in our new villa until the 19th and hope that everyone has had 10 days since their first positive (still waiting on Mads) so that we can get a certificate of recovery and move on with our travels. Until then we will just have to make do with this new view.
