I must admit it has not been hard for me at all. Working from home is very easy for me. I always work when I get home each night and on weekends as many of you know. However when it first hit I said I will work on my closet and clean up our office that is a real mess behind the cabinet doors. Taken a break from the computer from time to time and done a little in the office and 90% of it has been thrown out. Old computer technology items. Closet has not been touched.

The other issue is that everyone at KLT has been super busy as so many cancellations need to be handled and we need to set up systems to be sure everything is done. Spreadsheets are LONG and complicated. Now with the shut down of cruises until July 19 the work load is going to be great. We have to wait for Regent to cancel to process cancellations and so far they have been cancelling 30 days at a time and that has made it easier. If they do every cruise up to July 19 it is going to be a lot at one time. Plus people are also booking using the FCC for future cruises. Had to change my two safaris from 2020 to 2021 which has been a real challenge. Still working on that. Not complaining better to be busy than bored. I am good at busy so not good at bored. We are all working from home except Clay, Ken and Susan. So that slows things down as well.

The KLT staff have job security we need everyone of them to handle the work load. No one being laid off at KLT. Could not find a staff like this again. We will hang in there and this too will pass eventually.

We are mostly grilling and doing take out. Ken goes into the office everyday and picks food up on the way home. Had some BAD take out meals so we figured out where not to go. So I cannot say I have spend any more time cooking that I usually do.

We do miss being on a cruise and the biggest thing we miss is the socialization. Seeing people we know and meeting new people too we really enjoy. Never get tired of that we really love that aspect of cruising. The cruises we had booked were ones we were really looking forward to taking. We were fortunate to do the 4 night cruise on the Splendor. Spending more time on the Splendor going through the canal with about 75 people was going to be great. Then SUITES I was so sad to miss that. I hope one day I am able to offer that again. I need to get on my knees at Regent and beg for a second SUITES cruise. Then the Splendor again June 4 with so many of the people on the safari taking the cruise and immediately going down to South Africa. I had hopes that we may be through this by then back in February but it was not to be.

However, when you think of the terrible impact the virus has had on so many people. We eat out at lunch everyday at the office and have lots of favorite servers. I really feel for them and all the people that have lost their jobs. Those that have lost loved ones, the medical staff are probably exhausted. The impact on us is in comparison is very small.
