2020 didn’t work out well for any of us, and it really killed all of the travel I had pre-booked. On the night in March when President Trump announced the Europe travel ban I was at the grocery store picking up a couple of essentials as I was flying to Dublin the next morning. I am glad he announced it then and not the next day or a couple of days later. I am not really sure how I would have gotten home.
It took a while, but the airlines have been pretty good at issuing vouchers or refunds. My failed trips to Ireland in March, Rome in April, and Israel in November ended up paying for my 2021 travels. However, I did drag others into the the mess this time. Sandy Deitz, along with Amanda and Holden Olson were planning on joining me. I felt bad at first, but once the world fell apart, missing a trip to Rome was a pretty minimal sacrifice compared to what we were about to sacrifice the rest of the year.
