Back in the pre-pandemic times, my Mom and I booked a trip on the ridiculous Etihad First Class Apartments during my whirlwind retirement victory lap, which was scheduled to happen in Fall 2020. We couldn’t imagine having an entire bed and couch to ourselves…at 35,000 feet. Wild.

I was born and raised in Georgia and even during that time, my Mom and I usually went somewhere even warmer like Florida or the Caribbean to tan over Christmas.
