Like many fellow flyers, I severely limited my travel over the last year due to the coronavirus pandemic. And like many, I also saw the light at the end of the tunnel when the vaccines began to roll out.
Education workers like myself were placed in a higher priority group under Arizona’s vaccine distribution plan and I was able to get my first dose in early March. Most of my family members in Texas were also getting vaccinated so I decided to book a flight from Phoenix to Houston to see them a few weeks after my second dose.
