Something sultry for your Sunday <3

I am officially back in the USA!

After 50 days abroad, it honestly feels quite weird to be back, however I am definitely happy to be here considering the state of the world right now.

Over the last few years, I have averaged roughly 20-30 flights per year due to my work. I consider myself to be quite the experienced traveler, and I've seen a fair amount of oddities in airports over the years. However, I have never seen something like this.
Major airports are completely empty. Flights are being cancelled (including two of my own) and people are frantically searching for their next best option.
Airport lounges and restaurants are closed and roped off to prevent people from congregating in the seats.

It was ominously quiet for a place that is typically filled with the hustle and bustle of excited and weary travelers.

Now that I am in California, I am self-quarantining in a hotel for the next 10 or so days to hopefully prevent exposing vulnerable family members to any virus I may be carrying. The hotel restaurant is closed (so no free buffet breakfast, boo!), and the fitness center is closed, which is how I had planned to stay sane during my ten days spent in this (crappy) hotel. Instead, I will focus on my art, as I have my camera and sketching supplies with me, as well as hope to find a nearby park to go running in to stay active.

Now that I am back in the states, and considering everyone is stuck at home, I am working on some fun surprises for you all during the next few weeks, so make sure you check back regularly for new photo sets and videos <3
I hope you are all staying safe, sane, and healthy during these scary times!
