But also going to share ideas and things we are doing to get pass this thing. Sure would be nice if it did not rain every other day and was warmer than the 40s. I just got home from Switzerland. Exhausting, surreal, exhilarating, bizarrely fun, and CRAZY past four days! I successfully exfiltrated 121 students, faculty, and staff from Switzerland in three waves over two days utilizing trains, coaches, planes, and rental cars. Got all my international students back Stateside before the lockdown and I returned with the last 47 Saturday evening into Dulles. You should have seen me get 48 of us on and off a coach, checked into and out of a hotel, and then checked into the airline (with a semester’s worth of luggage each), get them through security, immigration, a trans-Atlantic flight, through new health screenings, and then Customs all in 48 hours! All those UK trips were amazing training for this!! Now I’m in for a 14 day self-quarantine. I feel fine and have exhibited no signs of illness, so let’s hope that continues.
