Where Would You Rather Be?

therealjrn thought this was worth mentioning said Sun, Apr 19th 2020 at 2:42pm ET

So it’s like a big game of musical chairs lately and we’ve all had to stop dancing around the chairs and stop, sit, stay!

I’m comfortable enough I guess, here at home but I’d like to be somewhere more tropical I think. Somewhere temperate, but near a beach.

Where would you like to be?

Someplace where

There is excellent internet: both broadband and cell,
the roads are in good shape and fairly empty,
the air is clean and clear,
the scenery is gorgeous,
the people are nice,
the hand sanitizer, mask, and TP supplies are plentiful,
the medical facilities are more than adequate,
the humidity is not overwhelming,
and the temp hovers at that delicious point between warm and cool for the next 6 months.
And you can clearly see the Milky Way at night.

And where I have some degree to physical proximity to family and friends. JIC.

Sigh.

I would rather be right here where I am. With the wife and kids inside my home.

- Although a nice bed and breakfast with just the wife would be greatly appreciated too…

In our kitchen, snacking on something.
I’m too lazy to get up and walk in there.

I am supposed to be in the British Virgin Islands right now. On a chartered sailboat with my hubby and another couple. But no, I’m at home.

- @moonhat wow, THAT truly sux! Hopefully you will be able to re-schedule the trip a bit later… Haven’t done the BVI yet, but have been to a dozen other islands in the Carib.
  A bad day at the beach still beats a good day at work…

I’d like to spend some time in the mountains, for a change. Something scenic with hiking and a fat pipe to the Internet.

I would like to be somewhere in the Pacific time zone so I could check what’s new on meh at 9:00 PM instead of 11:00 PM.

I was lucky enough to have bought a VR headset just before the SHTF and was content staying home virtually visiting all sorts of places and slicing away at musical blocks. Today I discovered the headset is broken and have to send it off for repair so…

I’ve never been more enamored of Robinson Crusoe’s Island of Despair.
