We are both fully vaccinated for COVID-19. There is talk now that later this year or early next year, we'll need booster shots to cover the variant mutation strains of the pandemic virus. We'll see. I think we both have a bit of travel bug even though things haven't returned to normal yet. That being said, we saw this on the news last night! Synchronous Fireflies! They appear every year around the same time, in the same places in the Appalachian Mountains. How did we not know about this? It is like when we didn't know about wintering tundra swans in NC! So, this morning we entered the lottery and we'll find out on May 7th if we won a spot for the first 8 days of June near Gatlinburg, TN. We already missed the window of opportunity for Congaree in SC. Fingers crossed for our 1st trip since the pandemic lockdown in March of 2020.
