Nice to hear that you recovered quickly and that your travel seems (relatively) assured.

I'm sure these time-to-recovery numbers have a lot of variability, but bearing that in mind, here is the data from a 20 year-old student of mine (double vaccinated with Moderna, but not boosted):

Day 0 - probable exposure date, though PCR negative on that date.
Day 2 - experienced mild symptoms, and antigen test was positive
Day 3-4 - worse but not horrible flu-like symptoms
Day 5-6 - symptoms resolved by the end of Day 6
Day 8 - Antigen test negative on this day and Day 9
