That travel muscle memory

We fly out Thursday. It's been years since I boarded a plane. Looking back it seemed I was doing it at least once a year.

Some old reflexive muscle memory has been kicking in this weekend:

• Music downloaded to the phone
• Podcasts downloaded to the phone too
• Books downloaded to Kindle
• Making sure I have at least 2 charging cords (new ones since swapping to an iPhone)
• Slip-on shoes to wear at the airport, with boots packed in the checked luggage
• Dopp kit re-supplied
• Medication portioned out

But now with the pandemic we have to navigate new documentation, masks, and COVID-19 tests.

I am dreading this trip.
