It was a close call.

Balancing FOMO with YOLO and JOMO.

**Initially:** “I don’t like Dubai and I have some other plans as well”

**Then:** cannot find my driving licence, need to fly to Poland to pick a new one, from there is much closer to Dubai

**Then:** found the driving licence, no need to fly to Poland, original plan back in play

It was genuinely a close call. If I had Blue Zone credentials it would be a completely different game…

Should have shown up.

And did some planning beforehand or just wing it.

Complaining does not help, showing up is much much much better
