​GOOD-BYE, COVID COCOON, HELLO, SQUARE-EGG MCBAGELS

     On Wednesday, May 12, 2021, after a year and two months of COVID cocooning, hubby Tom and I, all vaccinated and ready to go, broke out and hopped a plane - two planes, actually - to Los Angeles.

     We dusted off and packed our long-unused suitcases and at 5:45 am we were out awaiting our Uber,        

...which transported us to where we hadn't been in what seemed an eon, the departure area of the "One of Us" Columbus airport (see post from 4/29/2018, "What's So Funny At The Columbus Airport" https://www.ailantha.com/blog/whats-so-funny-at-the-columbus-airport​). 

     The airport was pretty crowded on this Wednesday morning at 6 am.     

      I suppose everyone was as anxious to break out of their COVID cocoon as we were.
     Sadly, a number of the airport shops hadn't yet re-opened from from the pandemic-induced shut down.

     Happily, the Bob Evans was still open so we were able to  grab some breakfast.

     Sadly, all that was on the menu was coffee, packaged cookies, egg mcbagels, and refrigerated  drinks.

     And so our first restaurant meal in over a year,

...was a square egg in a round bagel.

     But hey, we were good.
