Greenland here we come-Covid be damned
Posted: Sat May 29, 2021 9:40 amBeen over a year in the works, but the kids will finally get to spend some time with their Mom up in Greenland. She is part of the climate program(s) being conducted up there as part of the Artic Research Operations. I dated her Mom decades ago, and we have been always been close. So we asked me to become guardian and de facto grand dad to her two girls. (Their grandmother is about as reliable as the flusher on a pay toilet). So I accepted...
We had planned for a summer trip in 2020, but Covid had other ideas. So now we are all set and look forward to part of the summer in Greenland.
We are vaccinated, have our 48 hour negative tests, and will head to NYC today for tomorrow's early evening flight to Copenhagen Denmark. There even with our shots and negative tests we will need a rapid test after arriving at the airport. Then we can fly to Greenland after another test. We were not allowed to direct fly to Greenland at this point as US citizens due to Danish rules and travel bans. We had to apply for and be granted a "worthy purpose" travel exception , and we were. So things are all set and the girls are so excited. We will drive to NYC today, and I will show them some sites, stay over then head to Newark for Sunday's afternoon direct flight to Copenhagen on Sandy Air "Scandinavian" Should hit the tarmac around 730 on Monday. Up to a 3 day "quark" we should arrive in Greenland sometime midweek.
I realized the other day, I have not missed an update for almost 6 years well since I dissected my aorta back in 2015. So I will miss the updates, and the forum. Good Luck to those Charms who enter the contests, and may you all enjoy health, love and joy in equal measures until I can grace the Forum pages again.....
