I'm writing this while feeling a bit melancholy about canceling another planned trip to Europe. It was to begin in just a few days. Hopefully, we will be able to re-book and travel again soon, however, for now, we are tired of the uncertainties and extra requirements to travel to Europe. Fortunately, it's a lot easier to cancel than to search for just the “right” place when making a reservation. We knew there were risks when we planned the trip (Europe wasn't open to nonessential US travelers last January) and made sure that all of the bookings were cancelable with no fees involved.
I just took a look at the seating chart on the flight we were booked on--our seats have been reassigned and the flight has more passengers than it did a few days ago. Perhaps you could say we are a bit over-cautious, but the comfort level just wasn't there. For those who persevered, they'll more than likely be glad they did and the benefits of travel will far exceed the hassles.
Here's wishing everyone a wonderful and safe Labor Day weekend. I'm looking forward to spending time with family and enjoying some short road trips through the Wisconsin countryside.
Hi Sue & Ron, Like most of us who had plans for Europe had to cancel as well. We sold our motorhome so in state day trips are for us. We never get tired of seeing Alaska. We have been to Denali with family. And driven down to the cabin on the Peninsula. The drive to Homer is always so beautiful. Maybe we will have better luck for Sweden next year. K & K.
