I am flying to Miami to take care of my father, who has Alzheimer. Each three months we fly a care taker in from Holland. Due to the corona crisis, the current care taker had to leave and the new one cannot fly in.<\/p>\n<p>I was supposed to fly in for a visit at the end of the month, but changed it for an earlier flight a few days ago when it seemed like the US airspace might close soon. By coincidence I found out yesterday that all flights were cancelled and that today is the last flight out of Cura\u00e7ao. I managed to change my ticket last minute.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-3 nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-3 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-one-full fusion-column-first fusion-column-last\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-4\"><p>It was very difficult to get on this flight, since I am not a US resident. If I can\u2019t get into the USA, we have a BIG problem. And when I do get in, I have no idea how long I will have to be there. I can only leave once a new care taker can fly in from The Netherlands, which may take a few months.<\/p>\n<p>Most people decide to fly home, when the quarantaine was announced. But where is \u2018home\u2019 for me? I am not registered anywhere. I feel at home in many locations around the world. The Netherlands isn\u2019t the best place to be right now. I thought Cura\u00e7ao would be better and safer. But now it seems like I will be spending the next few months in Miami, one of my least favorite cities.<\/p>\n<p>Cura\u00e7ao airport is deserted. I have a folder with documentation for the immigration officials, who will probably try to stop me getting into the US. They only let US citizens in, which I am not. I have made screen prints of the law exemptions for children of US citizens. I have a copy of the doctors note that my father needs 24h care. I have a copy of my fathers passport to prove he is a US citizen. I even have a copy of his Power Of Attorney, to prove that I am his daughter. I have a copy of my boarding pass and immigration stamp to show that I have arrived on Cura\u00e7ao on Feb 27th, and that I have been out of the EU for the required three weeks. So they should let me in. But rules changes by the minute as the crisis unfolds itself and fear of Europeans is high.<\/p>\n<p>The check-in lady in Cura\u00e7ao gave me a hard time, saying I was denied boarding because I am not a US citizen. She reluctantly called her supervisor when I insisted that children of US citizens should be allowed with a doctors letter. They decided to let me through and let the next official decide. The next official, however, assumed that I had already be checked. So I got through. I have hardly ever been as nervous in my life. I could board the plane.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-image-element fusion-image-align-center in-legacy-container\" style=\"text-align:center;--awb-caption-title-font-family:var(--h2_typography-font-family);--awb-caption-title-font-weight:var(--h2_typography-font-weight);--awb-caption-title-font-style:var(--h2_typography-font-style);--awb-caption-title-size:var(--h2_typography-font-size);--awb-caption-title-transform:var(--h2_typography-text-transform);--awb-caption-title-line-height:var(--h2_typography-line-height);--awb-caption-title-letter-spacing:var(--h2_typography-letter-spacing);\"><div class=\"imageframe-align-center\"><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-2 hover-type-none\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1441\" alt=\"Travel in times of Corona\" title=\"EJ-mask-in-plane\" src=\"https:\/\/estherjacobs.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/EJ-mask-in-plane-scaled.jpg\" class=\"img-responsive wp-image-44854\" srcset=\"https:\/\/estherjacobs.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/EJ-mask-in-plane-200x113.jpg 200w, https:\/\/estherjacobs.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/EJ-mask-in-plane-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/estherjacobs.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/EJ-mask-in-plane-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/estherjacobs.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/EJ-mask-in-plane-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/estherjacobs.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/EJ-mask-in-plane-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/estherjacobs.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/EJ-mask-in-plane-scaled.jpg 2560w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/span><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-4 nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-4 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-one-full fusion-column-first fusion-column-last\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-5\"><p>I am the only passenger without a US passport on this plane.
