Saliva-based tests (or the covid-19 spit test, as I like to call them) for coronavirus testing have also recently been approved. On November 13, 2020, the State of California issued a travel advisory which stated: Persons arriving in California from other states or countries, including returning California residents, should practice self-quarantine for 14 days after arrival. And, luckily and thankfully, Albertsons Pharmacy now offers COVID-19 spit tests, which can be done almost entirely by mail! Given that many states have voluntary or mandatory self isolation / quarantine (varying between 10 – 14 days), taking the at home covid test “released me” from quarantine a few days early.

If your ferry disembarks from Port Askaig, it will take you about 25 minutes to reach Port Charlotte. If you’re coming from Port Ellen, it will take you about 30 minutes to Port Charlotte. Once you hit the end of Main Street, A846 turns right and you continue on for less than 3 miles when you reach Bridgend, and turn left onto A847 for the last 7.7 miles of your journey onto Port Charlotte. If I could sum up my stay at the Port Charlotte Hotel Islay, I’d have to say it was: If this is what you’re looking for, with a side of a lively village bar, the Port Charlotte Hotel Islay is absolutely your place!

Around this time last year, I was soaking up the sun in the Maldives and reflecting on my first year in Afghanistan (2019). Last week, I was sitting in Kandahar, Afghanistan – the second biggest city in Afghanistan, which has been the seat of power of the Pashtun tribe for over 300 years. My friend came back to Mazar after the first weekend, and since it was his last few days there, we went on a food tour adventure of Mazar-i-Sharif. Couldn’t stay in Scotland past mid-September (visa issues), and my boss wasn’t ready to bring me back to Afghanistan yet, so, six weeks in almost complete isolation in Kyiv.
