Flying from the UK to the US during Covid-19 (Amber Country)

Recently, right before UK freedom day, I was able to fly from the United Kingdom to the United States. I am an America Citizen and had been traveling home to visit my family, who I haven’t seen for years. When it came to traveling, I found that during COVID rules, everything is really confusing, hard to follow, and jumping around, and I really just wanted to hear from someone who had made the trip, to know what to expect, instead of reading endless government websites. So, I decided to write my experience up.

Restrictions are always changing and adjusting, this is based of of me traveling a few days before Freedom day, but at the time of posting, there isn’t many changes to anything. There are different rules per state. I flew from the UK into Boston, with a layover in Iceland, and then drove to New York. I am a US Citizen. I flew via Icelandair.

A Day Out at the Museum of Brands

I feel that as an America, I have more of a connection to brands than most British people. I am brand loyal – once I like I brand I stick with it, no matter what. It’s just ingrained in my blood. When I saw the Museum of Brands in our National Trust membership book, I really wanted to go along! So when Dann surprised me with tickets to go, I was hyped! It’s worth mentioning that as apart of the National Trust, you get a discount on the price of the tickets – not free entry like several other places. But, the tickets are quite cheap anyway and well worth it.
