The plane tickets are bought, and now I'm just counting down the days to my youngest son and his wife's arrival. He lives in Barcelona, and we haven't seen him since last summer. It was planned we would meet for Easter, but COVID-19 spoiled our plans and messed it all up.
They had a way stricter lock-down and quarantine than we had it here. It somewhat started getting back to some normal just several weeks ago.
Before those pandemic happenings, my son was working at school as an English teacher. As the schools were closed among first, he and his colleagues were forced to use their vacations. It was a measure a school took instead of laying them all off. But shortly after, they all got fired anyway.
Therefore, besides coronavirus, money issues became another obstacle for their arrival. Although my son managed to find a new job at the beginning of June, it still wouldn't help them to cover the financial loss of the previous non-working months. So, their arrival remained a big if, if question.
But then, unexpectedly jumps in three airline companies who offered 100,000 free of charge flights to healthcare professionals (to a destination of their choice) as their way of thanking those people for their selfless work and immense help during the hardest times and all the way through this corona crisis.
Vueling was one of those three companies, and as my youngest son's wife works in a hospital as a medical doctor, she was eligible for those free tickets.
But then, another issue occurs. As many healthcare professionals rushed to grab those tickets, the airline's website was continually crashing. After almost full two days of trials and fails, they finally succeeded in getting the tickets and booking the flight.
I can't tell you how happy I was when they said to us that good news! Therefore, overwhelmed with emotions and in anticipation of their arrival, I created yesterday above GIF. So today, it's one day less left to wait until the day when I'll finally be able to hug my son again!

Yes, you are right - today is the day! 😀
We are just preparing to leave for the airport and to pick them there as they should lend in about an hour. So, now I'm counting down minutes and seconds. Can't wait to see, kiss and hug them! 😀
Hi @ana-maria, please note that you still have 10.02 HP delegated to us. Our project has ended, so we can't guarantee you any upvotes in return. Of course we'll still upvote good content in the future, so you might get upvotes in the future but this is not depending on delegations.
So if you still want to support us you don't have to do anything. But you might want to get your HP back by undelegating, so we just wanted to inform you about that option.
Have a nice day & good luck in the future!
Thank you very much for reminding me about it. For now, I'll leave it as it is. Maybe you'll be able to use it (in cumulative with other HP that you currently hold at your disposal) better than I could. We'll see what future will bring us all. If I'll find some better way to invest it, I'll keep in mind, I'm free to do it.
However, thank you for your support by now, and all the best in the future, especially in your attempts to support good content creators and their work! 🙂
