Add this to the #COVID history record.
In March 2020, my wife and I were in #SoutheastAsia trying to get to a country that felt safe as #Coronavirus was spreading quickly. We landed in #bali planning to spend a week there. At the time, we just wanted to get off the Asian continent thinking it would be the hot spot.
The #Denpasar airport authorities queued up arriving passengers and handed them this yellow slip to put into our passports- that was it. When we left on March 14 to fly to Brisbane, they didn’t even take the slips back. Every country was just winging it at the time.
The #globalpandemic was announced the next day. We spent 6 weeks in Australia hoping it would calm down. When it became apparent this was here to stay, we found a window of time, and a cheap repatriation ticket on #VirginAustralia to get back home to the States.
What a time that was.
