Nearly two years since my family first emerged from our Covid bubble to take a very fear-filled trip to the beach, we're finally making travel plans with confidence again. Oh, my goodness. I can't tell you how strange it's been for our family to intentionally turn down travel opportunities and vacations for more than two years. We love to travel- be it for work, for fun, or for church-related events, and we're quite used to traveling several times a year, if not monthly. Taking trips together gave us much-needed family time, which was wonderful for creating lasting memories.

We were also used to attending a lot of in-person events, shows, concerts, etc., and much of that slowed down for us, as well. We stopped attending church as often as we had been, stopped accepting invitations to parties, and even stopped participating in school functions because we did not want to become sick. The fact that I was pregnant in 2021 played a big part in our slow-down in travel and event attendance. Even though most of 2021, we stayed put, not wanting to bring germs to our new baby girl. Just this past year, we've started venturing back out into the world to enjoy things like travel and event participation again. We're still very selective when it comes to where we travel, though.

One of the things that help me feel more confident when it comes to travel and attending events, is having the ability to use Lucira Check It COVID-19 Tests. Since school has started back up, I am a little on edge about germs, about the kids getting sick from school, and about possible germs, we might pick up as we prepare for our fall travels. That's why I am so happy to have Lucira Check It COVID-19 Tests at home this season!

My family's least favorite game is the guessing game - is it a cold, allergies, or Covid? I'll bet it's yours, too. With Lucira's easy-to-use at-home Covid tests, there's no more guessing. We have a clear answer, fast, and we don't have to leave home to get it.

Why Lucira?

Lucira Health offers the first and only FDA EUA authorized single-use PCR quality molecular COVID-19 test available over the counter. This quick at-home test gives you results in 30 minutes or less. This means that you'll have your answer on whether or not it's safe for you to go about your business in less time than it takes to make dinner for your family. You can confidently test your kiddos ages 2-13. Simple mom win? You bet!

My kids have already had the crud within the first week back to school. It made me feel so relieved to know that it was indeed a cold, and not Covid! Having this fast answer meant that we could still keep our plans as usual for our upcoming fall trip. We can't wait to be in the mountains, without having to worry whether or not it's safe for us to try to see the sights around a lot of other people. My dad's health is also compromised, so it's more important than ever that we absolutely make sure that no one in our family unit has Covid, so we can visit him, and feel good about our decision. With so many different variants of Covid, I feel safe and secure knowing that Lucira Check It COVID-19 Tests detect all variants of COVID, even Omicron and BA.5.

Do you have travel plans this fall? What are some of the ways you're taking precautions? I'm making sure I bring along at least one Lucira COVID-19 Test, just in case one of us starts feeling under the weather while we travel. Always best be prepared.

Wishing you good health, always!
