lsandersonI made it home last Saturday, May 21, after testing positive for COVID on Sunday, May 8. I was supposed to fly out on May 9. I only changed my departure three or four times which was great fun in itself. Fortunately, I usually had three BBC cable channels to keep me entertained while on eternal hold with Delta and Delta Vacations.
On May 11, the hotel I was staying/isolating in, Aloft Brussels Schuman, caught fire. I spent the next mumble days sweltering on the 8th floor of a nearby hotel, NH Hotel, that they moved us to after a rather long interval quite late night/early morning.
The night desk guy, who was quite friendly when I checked out at 4:45 am on Saturday, May 21, said that Aloft had called and asked for rooms — all the hotel rooms.
The first test I ran after testing positive on May 8, was on May 19, and I tested negative. I had to spring for an 'official' test at the Brussels airport to get out of Belgium, and got a CDC interview here after I got off the plane.
Waay too much fun. Fortunately, the beer I packed all made it home, and Allianz should cover most of the extended stay. I did abandon two bottles of Belgian beer in the last hotel. In retrospect, I probably could have packed it, but my luggage was heavy enough already.
