I lived in Minnesota for eight years and I’ve lived in California for the past two years. I was supposed to fly back to Minneapolis, MN to visit friends in March, but I had to cancel my flight because of the virus. I rescheduled it for early June so I could visit friends, and also so I could attend the George Floyd protests because I knew him.
I also wanted to join the clean-up crews as the neighborhood that was destroyed was where I lived for over four years. Because of the virus I had to cancel that flight as well. I rescheduled my flight again so I could be there for the Minnesota State Fair, that I already had tickets to, but then the state fair was canceled, and I still didn’t feel safe flying, so I canceled that flight as well. That trip would have included more than just visiting Minnesota though; I was also going to drive to Michigan to see family that I haven’t seen in over a year. Fingers crossed I can safely travel again in 2021.
