Today is a travel day. Morning to relax before we leave the beautiful sea of Cancan.  We are flying from Cancun to Rio which is our only stop in Brazil. In each of the countries we visit, we could spend a month of our time in the country but we usually end up with a week or less so we can maximize the number of countries we visit. 

Kyle takes advantage of the hotel business center to print off a practice SAT test for the boys. We squeeze in a last outdoor lunch by the ocean before heading to the airport.

It’s a longer haul than normal for scheduling reasons. We fly from Mexico to Panama City and then have an overnight flight to Rio. As we disembark in Panama, nurses are checking the temperatures of every passenger from another arriving flight but not ours. The signs of the Coronavirus are everywhere we look from our phones to TVs to the increased masks we see while traveling. More than 80,000 cases have been reported worldwide with over 2,000 deaths at this point.

Leanne has taken to upping her hand sanitizer obsession with squirts on the clan’s hands every hour or so. We’ve been more diligent at getting vitamins in too. It’s our best courses of action in the meantime.

The flights are uneventful and we pile off the plane in Rio the next morning.
