Today, within 15 minutes of each other, I received 2 phone calls that I have been awaiting very anxiously. The first, from the Quabbin Pines RV Resort in Orange MA, confirmed that they do, in fact, have a suitable site for me for the summer. A few details – like picking a site when no site map is yet available – remain to be worked out, but I am now confident that I will have a seasonal site in a very good location for the summer of 2021.
The second call, from Lee County, Florida, was to schedule my COVID-19 vaccination. This call was only “kind of good news” because the earliest date they could offer was March 24. This is for the Moderna vaccine which requires 2 doses 4 weeks apart, so the second dose would be April 21. This means that the earliest I could leave Florida would be April 22 and, more likely the following Monday, April 26. That means yet another 2-week delay in my trip north (TN7) and an arrival in MA around Memorial Day. I don’t like that schedule much and so will continue to try to score a vaccination through Publix.
But, overall, very good news.
UPDATE: I received the confirmation email for the vaccination appointment and was shocked to see the date: 24 FEBRUARY rather than 24 MARCH. I think this is a mistake on the part of the county. But I intend to show up, confirmation letter in hand. If they turn me away then my second dose will be 21 APRIL; if not the second dose will be 24 MARCH. Stay tuned…
