You really expect me to beleive that " everyone " is going and those without antibodies are not?
Im noticing how this works it starts off with " we MUST open schools and business" and it doesn't take long until a florida vacation is a must also. |
I know plenty of people going to Florida...they have antibodies. Where I live just about everyone got sick right after Purim and the rest got sick around Yom Kippur. Flights are cheap and people need a break.

The schools here in Lakewood test occasionally. Adults I know test every so often in the urgent care centers before they fly or go see high risk people. All the tests are free here (not so in every state.)

I understand. Nevertheless, the people that I know who are going did test. I'm not defending nameless faceless people out there in the ether.

We've done Florida over winter break before but usually after yeshiva week. I travel to Orlando for a work convention every January for a week and I tend to have the hubby and kids come for shabbos and a week of vacation. We rent a private house with a pool, in a gated community, cook our own meals and hit Busch Gardens, Crayola, etc. We avoid Disney (not fans of the mouse here) and just do our own thing. Motzei shabbos golfing, seeing crocodiles, etc. Kids enjoy it and the cost is nominal compared to our real vacations. We skipped this year because my work convention was put on hold till May. I happen to loathe Florida. Too touristy and kosher restaurants get packed, especially before COVID. We do an annual Bahamas vacation every summer that's a blast and I enjoy it so much more. The kids do too. This year, we're in our vacation house in Pennsylvania and just enjoying the snow, having lazy mornings, etc. We don't really follow the flow of what others do in life. It's always what do we feel like doing as a family. This year, we wanted to enjoy some winter sports and stay local so we did. I've no idea what other kids in my children's classes are doing. I don't really care. My kids are happy, healthy and having fun. Winter break shouldn't be a competition. Every family is unique, from a socioeconomic and emotional perspective. I can't deal with yeshiva week in Florida. It isn't relaxing and parenting in another state is still parenting (meltdowns and all). Do what works for your family and forget what other kids are doing. Good for them. Better for you...
