So everything appears to be on track for us moving back to the U.S., well

Except for not having a job lined up but whatever. The plan currently is to fly back in late September. I've ruled out driving because it's a 30 hour drive vs a three hour flight. Plus my car has Mexican plates and I don't know what I would do with it once in the U.S.

We'll be wearing N95 masks and 3M safety glasses. I'm not worried about the middle seat being booked since there are three of us traveling. We should occupy all the seats on one side of the aisle. Going to get as close to first row of coach as possible. We'll have disposable surgical masks as backups in case the N95s get hard to breathe in, but I also know some low traffic sections of the airport where we could take them off for a few minutes to catch our breath while we wait for boarding to begin.

Anything I'm missing? Any other suggestions? If this were a vacation trip, I'd cancel it, but it's not, so...

I would strictly quarantine at least 14 days before the trip. -- GFallsFan 07/19/2020 11:28AM

I flew last month, flight was easiest part of trip -- WestyHokie 07/19/2020 10:21AM

I'd suggest maybe Canada. -- Vippie1 07/19/2020 10:06AM

Bring your own food and drink on board -- Nova Hokie 95 07/19/2020 09:22AM

We'd have to buy water past security. Same as in U.S. We're planning on -- hokiemas 07/19/2020 10:36AM

Many flights have stopped any in flight food/drink -- Nova Hokie 95 07/19/2020 11:12AM

Nah. I don't drink and my wife has never needed booze on the plane. -- hokiemas 07/19/2020 11:19AM

Yeah, honestly, I won't even be drinking much water. I don't want to have -- hokiemas 07/19/2020 11:22AM

Maybe you can find unused NASA Apollo/Gemini waste removal gear. ** -- PhotoHokieNC 07/19/2020 11:51AM

That would be hilarious. Imagine airlines saying they were doing away -- hokiemas 07/19/2020 11:55AM

The logic of trying to get the front row is to at least know there's no one -- hokiemas 07/19/2020 10:34AM

Air moves vertically, top to bottom, on most planes ** -- 133743Hokie 07/19/2020 11:57AM

Just train the family to NOT touch their faces, and you should be fine -- EDGEMAN 07/19/2020 09:12AM

It's okay to touch your face. Just don't put your fingers in your eyes, -- 133743Hokie 07/19/2020 11:58AM

Working on that. My 9 year old is actually pretty good about it ** -- hokiemas 07/19/2020 10:37AM

I'm still trying to train ME to not touch my face. I think it's worse-> -- HOKIERIT 07/19/2020 09:29AM

Best of luck - hope the plans stay set. Where do you fly into in the US? ** -- PhotoHokieNC 07/19/2020 09:09AM

Family in Florida I think he said? -- `lag 07/19/2020 09:25AM

That's right. Dad is in Sanford (Seminole County). I know things in FL -- hokiemas 07/19/2020 10:32AM

Forgot, we'll also have Ziploc bags with Lysol wipes so that we can wipe -- hokiemas 07/19/2020 09:07AM

That is a good idea as well..the ziplock bag w/ wipes ** -- HOKIERIT 07/19/2020 09:11AM
