Need an opinion on travel please!

So before I even ask this, I want to preface with I am VERY aware that COVID-19 is real and dangerous. This is why I am completely torn.

My significant other received access to a beautiful gulf front condo in a couple of weeks for free from a client. It's in the FL panhandle (which FL is an epicenter, I am aware), but the cases here are lower comparatively. I have been very excited by this trip, but now a bit hesitant given the state of everything.

I love the beach. And travel...and I've been a hermit the past few months because of this pandemic. Does anyone think it's possible to go and be relatively safe? We will be driving, mainly limiting activities to beach, where we have a 10x10' tent to set up. We are avid mask wearers, hand washers/sanitizers, will be driving, limiting meals to our condo and take out.

Thoughts?

I hate to back out of this trip, but I also don't want to endanger myself or others.

some members of my family have already started traveling again — they went on holiday 2 weeks ago via plane and it was perfectly fine because the island they went to (in Spain) hasn’t had many cases of corona. I think it really depends on the place you’re traveling to and how much you’re willing to adapt whilst on holiday...obviously you should social distance and keep to the circle you’re traveling with.

@SW-User spain was a hotspot. Europe is not opening up to Americans from what i read

@akindheart depends where you go. if you travel to major cities like madrid or barcelona then you would be at risk of contracting the virus more. less populated areas are fine to travel to though. I live in the valencian community and it’s fairly alright here.

@akindheart NOPE! Nobody wants us. (And can you blame them?) I believe Madagascar and Turkey will take us though...
