Sunshine trip to Dubai is a test of wills these days

Travelling has always been a huge part of my life. If it’s legal to do so, I’m going for it, safely.First off, the dreaded Covid test.

For those of you who haven’t had the pleasure yet, lucky you.I genuinely thought I was being poked in the brain (yes, despite what the trolls say, I have one) and I definitely swore at the poor doctor.I’ve had a few and they’re really not too bad, just don’t move a muscle or breathe.Being ex-cabin crew, getting on a flight for me always felt like jumping on a bus.

Those times are long gone – at least for the foreseeable future.With the amount of paperwork now required and the necessary triple-checking everything online, I felt stressed beyond belief.
