Just two weeks later, Texas was shut down. “Before we left and went to Lackland, we were like, ‘OK, we have another two weeks of this. It sucks, but then afterward, we’ll be back to normal. It’ll just stay over there,’” Tyler Torres said “I don’t think we ever imagined though that we would actually shut down,” Rachel said. During that time, the couple said loved ones would turn to them looking for ways to occupy their time. On the ship, Rachel had focused on learning Spanish and planning a friend’s event while Tyler kept upwards of 200,000 people abreast of the situation on board through a Reddit feed and blog.
