Never had I ever thought I would actually be travelling when the COVID-19 situation is still going on. Especially they're still in the actual lockdown in Chile where I had been living for 5 months + but hello there, I just did! I left Chile after being stuck there for...EVER.
I honestly didn't have any inspiration or stories to tell when I was there.. Almost felt depressed somewhat being in the same place doing the same things over and over. Almost thought I didn't enjoy creating content any more till I finally on the move again. I wanna share every move, every step, and everything I have come across...
This street from a different angle
I always walked down this street these past months shopping for some fruits and veggies. Always stopped at that traffic light to walk across the road. Now, isn't it weird sitting in the front seat of a car looking at all the shop I used to shop and never know when I will be back and shop here again... sadly and gladly. Till next time Ecuador Street :)
A Ghost Airport
Literally, like a ghost airport when I got to SCL airport. No car, no people... or I was there way too early because I was too excited to leave #lol 5 hours before the flight hehehe. Also, not that many flights are operated either.
All the shops are closed, like, literally. Maybe one shop owned by the airport itself I guess that still's open for selling some souvenirs and all, one or two food shop at the gates. Other than that, none... It's like a ghost town!
Poke bowl
Luckily, I brought my own Poke bowl!! Not many choices at the airport so ordering a poke bowl delivery was almost the best decision of the day if it's not too bad of a taste. Anyways, you can still see other gates were closed in the background... It's crazy to see an airport so empty... and it's crazy poke bowl tastes like this and still got 4.8 stars on the delivery app. I can't stand the fact -0-
Extreme COVID-19 protection
The facial covering is mandatory even though those two kids were a bit stubborn (which is understandable.. I do that sometimes as it's so hard to breathe through a facial mask), the grandma far back there went beyond imagination with the protection. I was stunned for a sec but I would do the same with my grandma if she would actually like to travel in this situation at all. We can't risk the lives of the ones we love :)
Shortly, I love Latam airlines :)
They're one of a few airlines flying directly from South American countries to MIA with affordable ticket prices and all of them are flexible tickets due to COVID-19 situation. 1 real meal and 1 refreshing snack before landing. (maybe that's the reason? #lol) *** I love them!
MIA Airport
I'm right now writing up this post in the MIA airport happily waiting for the flight to SFO. Still a few hours to kill. I really had a doubt if I could actually get into the country due to the virus but turned out, if you're not traveling from these countries:
China, European Schengen area (Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Monaco, San Marino, Vatican City), United Kingdom (England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland)
The Republic of Ireland, and Brazil...
YOU'RE IN! Not even a form needed to be filled or body temperature needed to be checked. That concerns me a bit, like, seriously? Oh well, at least I'm in!
Another ghost airport
Just like SCL Airport, Santiago, Chile - MIA Airport, Miami, USA is also as ghosty as it could be. Everything is closed. Just Dunkin Donut and Subway Sandwich are open for takeout. Other than that, just bathrooms are open #lol
so here we go, my first proper/actual coffee after 5 months or something.. By the way, I ordered iced-coffee! (eyes rolled -0-)
I'm back into the mood of sharing excitey journey!
How are you Hivians doing? :)
