Our family vacation is coming up in July and we are traveling from Maryland to Rangeley. Our current thought is to get tested the day before leaving, which means we would get the result in 3-7 days. We have been coming the same week for years and reserve the same house looking for advice for car travel and advice on what to expect. We have 4 children who are 4 and under.
We just got to Maine after driving from Colorado with 3 kids, youngest age 4. We had great success in avoiding any contact with people. Here's what we did:
Drove long days.
Packed our own portable toilet and tent for using bathroom -- no public bathrooms for us.
Stayed only at Hilton chain hotel (Hampton Inn X 2) with digital key, and called ahead to ask to be assigned a room that hadn't been used the night before. Checkin and checkout via app, with iphone to open door, and came in via side entrance. Wiped down all surfaces and light switches anyway and brought our own little cot for the smallest kid.
Packed all our own food for our journey across (Yeti came in handy)
Had the house prestocked with grocery (and beer) order for 2 week quarantine.
We're staying long enough to take advantage or our post-quarantine time, with computers and internet connection to work from here.
How was the fishing?
