It's A Wonderful Life - A Film Starring Pura, Dandays, And Covid

Finally. I've been working on this for weeks. I ordered a 128mb SD card for the GoPro prior to departing England so I could film the two day journey between the UK and Miami. The card saved an hour and 40 minutes of information. After I'm not sure how many hours in iMovie, I got it down to 8n1/2 minutes.

Right in the middle of Covid travel restrictions, wait'll you see how empty these airports are. The Boeing 777 that brought us back had three rows of seats, 19 passengers and about the same number of crew members on board. Other than still being restricted from those first class, heated, reclining, comfortable looking, luxurious leather seats that were empty, by the way, it felt like a private jet.

My passport was extended six months due to lockdown but that expired on July 31st. Most airlines were grounded but all of them continued selling tickets. What they (Virgin, Delta) were doing was booking flights anticipating restrictions to lift but as they remained and caused delay, the airlines issued vouchers leaving customers with a two-year coupon rather than cash and no plane ride. That happened between about March and June. We had a daily eye on British Airways, they hadn't cancelled a flight since leaving the ground five weeks ago. So we booked a flight for August 1st and the thing took off.

After watching the movie over and over (and over and over and over), I'm not even certain it's legal. The more I watch it, the more uncertain. If anyone asks, just tell'em you got it from an anonymous blogger. The music's legal! Both are copyright free electric guitar covers. The original artists are British anyway and a good portion of this was filmed in London.

One more thing before you press play. We were pretty nervous about arriving in Miami, all we had was media-fed information. We weren't certain of quarantine regulations so we booked a stay for 14 days in Florida, memorized the address, stuff like that. We weren't prepared for Covid testing upon arrival if required by CDC, we didn't know what to expect. Not only was the line of questioning at the airport less invasive than the line of questioning at the barber shop, the identity screening at US Customs And Border Protection confirmed Pura's identity while masked.

Enjoy!
